Quilt Notes: DOVE is a classic quarter circle, "drunkard's path" type design, with many variations — this example imagines the bird in flight with outstretched wings. The warm colors reflect its symbolism. For more on the history of quarter circle pieced blocks, and numerous examples, see the popular "65 DRUNKARD'S PATH QUILT DESIGNS," by Pepper Cory, Dover, 1991.
