    Red face Biblical Blocks

    It's time to make my Missionary Daughter's quilt, I am looking for some help on blocks that relate to the Bible. I already have several downloaded but upon looking at then most are PP's, I don't know how to do that yet. So if you all would kindle suggest any biblical blocks that are fairly beginner friendly I would be so thankful! Like I said I copied several blocks but then going back to look at them they are like a foreign language to me being EPP or PP'ing. So far I have made a Carpenters Block and Cross & Crown. I do have a list but like I said they are turning out to be paper pieced somehow. This quilt means a lot to me for her special work in Bulgaria. Any help would be so appreciated with this devout project. THANKS to all that will take the time out to help me.

    PP is easy once you get the rythem and the blocks can produce some very sharp angles. Have ago.

    Oh, please give PP a try. I love it. To me, so much easier & points come out smooth & seams match. No cutting exact sizes of fabric…. Good luck...

    This just started this month. You should sign up, I think it would be quite fitting for your daughter's quilt

    A few names: King Solomon's Temple, Jacob's Ladder, Star of Bethlehem, Steps to the Altar, King David's Crown,

    Are you wanting something to show Bible things, or blocks with names like Jacob's Ladder, and Cedars of Lebanon?

    Either way, I'd be happy with any ideas just preferably not having to do with paper.
