Description:
Love Birds alternates pieced birds with open and closed envelope blocks, adding small appliquéd hearts to the envelopes. Directional prints are kept upright, and mirrored bird sections create birds facing both ways. Stacey Day designed this intermediate quilt with Love Letters fabrics by Club Hauer. It finishes at 80 1/2 by 92 inches, with ten-inch finished blocks, contrasting sashing, a floral outer border and a printed template for the heart details.

- Cut the labeled fabric pieces and heart shapes, keeping directional prints upright. Make the open and closed envelope units with the illustrated corner-sewing method.
- Position a heart on each envelope and appliqué it with blanket stitch. Piece the bird units in both directions and join them into the bird blocks.
- Arrange the envelope and bird blocks in seven rows with contrasting sashing. Join the rows, measure the center and add the floral outer borders.
- Join the binding strips and layer the quilt with batting and backing. Quilt, trim the extra layers and hand stitch the binding to the back.
