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.

A perforated pattern of proper quality may be placed wherever one wishes it, stamped, replaced and re-stamped a great number of times.

Nothing makes a more intriguing set of embroidered quilt blocks than flowers. In this suggested design 25 stamped blocks 9 inches square alternate with 24 plain blocks of blue or any color to make a quilt top about 63 inches square.
