Quilt Notes: this page includes an animation above illustrating the block assembly layout for FLYING BATS. For an illustration outlined on a full grid, along with general instructions on how to draft your own patterns, see the QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY by Rhoda Ochser Goldberg, 1988. Two variations with a diamond set for the orientation of the block are illustrated in Barbara Brackman's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED QUILT PATTERNS, dated 1975 and 1982.
