biblical quilt blocks

I'm thinking of making a quilt of biblical blocks for my son's
kindergarten teacher.

I've started off researching blocks, there is a lot of information out
there!

What I'm looking for are blocks that have been around a while, with
biblical inspiration being a plausible history for them, like Jacob's
Ladder (a mix of 4 patches and HSTs), rather than new or recent block
designs.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Cheers
Anne

Try the block Storm at Sea. It recalls the NT story about the calming
of the waters. It you make an entire quilt of it, in varying shades
of blue, it appears to be full of curves and movement, and that is
because of the varying angles in the triangles. Sometimes people add
a simple boat in one block, and some do not. Mine has the boat!

Check out Kim Graham's web site:

time to time, though not as frequently as she used to. I miss her

I wanna see somebody come up with a quilt block for Deuteronomy 25:11-12.

Very useful, although mostly she doesn't seem to include any history for
the block, some of them seem to be old designs, but others I've not
found any other references to, though so far I've only looked online.

Thanks

Anne, I googled "history of bible quilt blocks" - this is only one of
several sites that came up:

Ouch! I had to look that one up, and cannot think off the top of my
head what that block would look like, but I can say that it should
probably look good in red!
