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:
http://members.shaw.ca/kigraham/index.html. Kim checks in here from time to time, though not as frequently as she used to.

I miss her 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 |

Anne, I googled "history of bible quilt blocks" - this is only one of
several sites that came up: http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/b.../bible_bom.htm jennellh On Feb 19, 7:33*pm, Anne Rogers wrote: I'm thinking of making a quilt of biblical blocks for my son's kindergarten teacher.

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!
