Might have been a different kind of bird altogether! It was applique and there were four birds flying around the block. I have searched for Bluebirds, and Doves, and just plain Birds, and can't find anything that jogs my memory. I did find a cross-stitched quilt that looks similar. Of course, I may have hallucinated the whole thing--it WAS in the seventies.....Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
It's so funny you mentioned that because I was just thinking about that the other day. I, too, used to swap charms & blocks thru the mail back in the day. I have a top I made from blocks that I want to have quilted & I was just thinking about it the other day. I wonder what happened to all those gals from back then? It was so fun to go to the mail box & have "squishies" & a letter from a quilting pal.
