Nautical fabric usually means anchors on navy and not much else. Riley Blake's Yacht Club does the whole regatta: sailboats, signal flags, bubbles, coastal florals and crisp stripes in a classic red-white-and-blue palette that reads summer house from across the room. Twenty pieces at Linda's, all $13.49 per yard.

How I'd Use It
Yacht Club was made for the lake-house quilt: big sailboat blocks, flag-print sashing, stripe binding. It's also the collection I'd point at for patriotic-adjacent summer projects — the palette hits red, white and blue without a single literal flag print, so it works Memorial Day through Labor Day without shouting. The stripes cut beautifully on the bias for binding, and the Flowers prints let you soften a boy-nursery nautical quilt into something the whole family claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Yacht Club work for patriotic quilts?
Yes — the red, white and blue palette reads seasonal Americana while staying nautical, making it a two-for-one summer collection.
What's the best print for binding?
The Stripes. Cut on the bias, a striped binding spirals around the quilt edge like boat rigging — the classic finish for nautical quilts.
Is this collection kid-friendly or sophisticated?
Both lanes exist: sailboats and bubbles skew nursery, while the florals, symbols and stripes compose an adult coastal quilt. Many quilters split one bundle across both projects.
