Embroidery Quilts. The Bird Life Quilt

Stamped blocks are available today for many delightful quilts like the one suggested here, in which each of 24 bird friends is designed to fit a 9-inch square. You should have no difficulty in embroidering them; the work is mostly outline stitch with some wings and tails blanket-stitched to make a feathery edge. Fifteen skeins of thread in all colors would be needed to work the blocks. It requires seven yards for the quilt top and 2 1/2 yards of 81-inch sheeting for lining.
