The pattern is called Plaited blocks and you can find it at
http://www.quilterscache.com/BlocksbySizeC.html. I hadnt seen the blocks put together like this with the applique before but its beautiful! I just am NOT a good applique quilter but have a friend who has the embrodry machine to make the birds for me. Id like any suggestions on how to get the vines and flowers. I just thought it was beautiful! My blocks are various colors and its really an easy block to make even though it looks hard!
