Biblical-based pieced blocks
Does anyone know of a source for peiced blocks based on the Scriptures. I need blocks to make a border for a quilt, maybe in the 6"-8" size block. I was hoping to find something that stood for the fruits of the spirit but all I found were signature blocks with the joy, peace, hope written on the blank block. If not the fruits then a source of other biblical charaters or events in the Bible. Need five to seven different blocks to use in the border. Sure appreciate the help! Chris

I have seen examples of pieced Biblical blocks. You might try quilterscache/quiltblocksgalore or try Goggling free pieced Bible blocks. I found this one and I will try to post a link www.patternsfromhistory.com/bible_quilt/

Just an idea, but if you are planning to use them for a border, how about just appliqueing letters and spelling out the fruit around the border? Love...joy....peace.....etc. Maybe add some other embellishments to spruce it up.

That's a great link Tartan!
What about applique of pears, apples, etc with the words written inside them : peace, joy, etc all around the border. It would give an additional interest.......jmho.
I would like to see a pic when it's done.
