We do prayer quilts in our church. Lap size or a little larger in any pattern the quilter wishes. It is on the altar rail during the morning service when needed, then moved to a corner of the community room afterwards. The congregation prays corporately for the person, then individually as each congregation member who wishes to ties a knot or two. Recipients have found the blanket of prayers very powerful.
I was just on the Prayers and Squares website. there is a pattern for making a large cross in the backing. That has definite possibilities.
gzulivz, your Prayer Square is lovely. Your pastor will feel the love that has gone into it. I just realized what your name says. :thumbup:
