    Have any of you done a quilt named this? I found the pattern and really like it. I am in the process of making it. The finished squares are 20". Each square is a window (of sorts). Am wondering if you do a border around each window or just butt them together. I am a long way from that point but would like to have some idea of what is ahead of me and if I should get more material.
    Thanks
    Rita

    I have not done this, but it is a lovely pattern. Thank you for sharing.

    This IS the pattern I am following. But as you can see it is just one block. Then what?

    Which version are you making? I know of 3 different ones with that name. This is the one I have made: http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/b...bible_dove.htm

    I like the one that is sort of like a simplified Lone Star and have paper-pieced some that are similar to it. http://www.doveinthewindow.com/DITWquilt.htm

    The one that is most like Bear's Paw is probably the most common version and sounds like what you described. Here's a cute version of it: http://twelveby12.blogspot.com/2009/...in-window.html

    I would do a google image search for Dove Window Quilt and see what others have done and pick the one I liked best.

    I am doing the Twelve by 12. I see the picture is just like a wall hanging. It does have a small binding. Thanks

    This might answer your question.

    http://delawarequilts.com/BOMs/DoveI...dow/index.html

    It shows the block used two ways - one all Dove in the Window blocks and the other mixed with another block.

    But, bottom line, it appears that the blocks are butted together.

    Great pattern!

    Thanks so much for the pattern. It is the one I am making. It is amazing how it looks when it is butted together. Hope mine looks as great. My center piece is larger flowers in shades of pink on a cream back ground with sage foliage. Then one part of the diagonal is a small print stripe with the same colors. Then the accent is a small print of light and dark sage. When I put my first block together I felt I was going crazy with the stripe but when I got it right, it is very interesting. Thanks again.
