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
There is a book Biblical Blocks by That Patchwork Place. One of the free sites someone mentioned has some of the same blocks that the book does. What about fussy cutting fruits and applequing those on the border? It does sound interesting.

Happy Sewing
If you have the back blocks from your saved emails, would you be able to post them? I just read about this and would be very happy to be able to have them. Anything you can post would be appreciated.

Hobby Lobby has wonderful Biblical-based fabrics. My cousin copied a lot of patterns for Church ladies to make. A lot of different blocks. I'll have to see where they came from.

Quilters Loft blocks are wonderful and you can always attach the Bible study text for whoever gets the quilt to enjoy.

ManiacQuilter2: The book, Creative American Quilting Inspired by the Bible, has all the block patterns you mention. My husband found this book on Amazon though he said there was only 1 cc available (a couple years ago).

I actually have a quilt book I was going to sell that has quilts based on the Bible. I have a big cat asleep on my lap right now and if I get up to look at this book, he will be an angry cat. I will send you a PM as soon as I feel he has slept enough (that is kind of a joke as they sleep all the time anyway !).

Thanks everyone for the offers of help. I was able to print out most of the blocks from Quilters' Loft blog but had to stop at Galatians because I was afraid I would run out of printer ink before I could order more; but I did finish getting the rest of the blocks up to the present and saved them to my computer till the ink cartridges come in the mail. Have to remember to check the website to see when they've released a new block.

I'm doing rearranging of some things in my sewing room this week but think I should be able to get started on the quilt by this weekend. Anxious to get started, already have fabrics just waiting to be cut! Chris

Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/QuiltersLof...nyBibleStudies If the link doesn't work just go to Facebook and enter Quilter's Loft Company Bible Studies. I just got Block 59&60 1&2 Thessalonians. Chris
