Someone asked me today about making a "dove" quilt, with the dove being a symbol. I really only piece quilts and will look for dove fabric, but I was wondering if any of you CRAFTY people have any ideas? In the meantime, I have asked the person to try to find pictures of what they might be interested in. Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure there is a pieced dove (not paper pieced) that is a variation of the Rob Peter to Pay Paul block. Will see if I can find it online.
Okay. I found the block here:

I would probably change the block slightly, but you get the idea. It was a beautiful quilt!

If you are interested in this one, I know I have seen her pattern in the shop and she would gladly help you out.

Quilter's Cache has 2 dove blocks. These might be nice with some dove appliques added...there are some nice applique outlines on the link to the color pages above.
