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

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

I have misplaced my book from That Patchwork Place called Biblical Blocks - Sampler Series
by Makhan, Rosemary

http://www.biblio.com/book/biblical-...ry/d/346060044

Included Jacob Ladder
Garden of Eden
Devil's Claw
Solomon's Puzzle
Hosanna
Crown of Thorns
Golgotha
Cross & Crown
Joseph's Coat
Children of Israel
David & Goliath
Heavenly Problem
Carpenter Wheel
Heavenly Stars
Bethlehem's Rose
Star of Magi
Cross within a Cross

I have the list of the blocks I had planned to make. You can probably at least be able to view these blocks and be able to piece them. Some of them are very complicated and that is when PP comes in to make piecing accurate blocks.

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