Peace Dove Applique Quilt Pattern
The free Peace Dove pattern is a beginner-friendly, 10-inch applique block with mostly big pieces, gentle curves, and step-by-step photo and video instructions.
You can also adjust the angle of the wing to make it fit in a half-block, or leave out the olive branch to make a different bird.
Instant PDF download, print-ready for letter-sized paper or fusible adhesive, plus an SVG file for your cutting machine. No shipping costs, and no waiting! (Not sure what a PDF pattern is? Find more info here.)
Perfect for Christmas projects. Make quilts, pillows, wall hangings, tote bags, placemats, stockings, and more!

For a single block you'll just need an 11" square of fabric and some scraps for the applique. You'll also need one sheet of fusible adhesive. I use Heat & Bond Lite for all my quilts.
If you're making a quilt in one of my standard sizes, here are recommended fabric amounts needed.
Crib Size (50" square)
- 3 yards of a variety of background fabrics
- assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 7 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)
- 2 1/2 yards fabric for the quilt back (or 1 1/2 yards Cuddle Fleece)
- 1/2 yard binding fabric
Napping Size (50" x 60")
- 3 1/3 yards of a variety of background fabrics
- assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 8 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)

- 1/2 yard binding fabric
Twin Size (70" x 90")
- 7 yards of a variety of background fabrics
- assorted prints for the appliques (get at least 16 fat quarters, but you’ll probably want more for variety)
