Description
Triangles in full sail — a block named after the most famous ghost ship of all.
The Flying Dutchman is built from flying-geese units arranged around the centre so that they seem to spin like a pinwheel. The result is a block full of movement, like sails catching the wind.
The name comes from the legend of the Flying Dutchman, a phantom ship doomed to sail the seas forever and never make port. The story was popular in 19th-century literature and on the stage, including Wagner's opera Der fliegende Holländer (1843).
⛵ Did You Know?
Seafaring names are a whole family in quilt history. Ocean Waves, Storm at Sea, Mariner's Compass and Ship's Wheel all came from coastal communities where the sea was part of daily life — and where many quilts were stitched while waiting for loved ones to come home.
🧵 A Little Heritage
A spinning block, a spooky legend and a nod to life by the sea.
