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.
