    Here are the pieces/verses I want to frame up into blocks. They are squares and rectangles. I am putting 3 or 4 together in each block. I was looking for a picture of a square framed up like this. I only found one on the web because I didn't know what this framed up block was called. Anyway, you do start with a partial seam and when you place the blocks together, it almost looks like a 4P or woven in the corners. Thanks for all y'all's help. It was fun looking at all the blocks y'all suggested and I do appreciate the help. If anyone does know what it's called, let me know!

    It looks good the way you have it laid out. I know there is a pattern out there that had similar framing, but I can't seem to find it. The spring fabrics just seem to be happy, happy.

    I'm not sure I am liking the colored strips within the scripture verses. It may be too distracting, but I really like how the blocks outer strips frame it up. What do you think, please, use color strips within the blocks or not? I only have 3 stitched at this point and I don't mind ripping now, before I get more done. Give me your opinion, but I know which way I'm leaning, now that I see it on the screen.

    Not sure if this is what you are after, but Jordan Fabrics has a free pattern and a video that uses a panel cut apart and worked into a quilt. The blocks are different sizes and she shows how to make the sashings to fit together. This method may work for your verses.
    Anyway, here is a link to her free pattern page.....look for the "panel quilt" almost to the bottom of the page.

    I'm liking it just the way you are doing it, Toogie. I think it will be lovely when you are done.

    If I see what is concerning you, I think the inner dividers may be just a tad darker in value than what you used for the framing squares -- I like it that way. But you might try laying over some of the fabrics you used for the outer borders in the middle to see if you like it better, or maybe use some of those middle fabrics around some of the larger blocks to further balance the fabrics.

    I like the colorful strips. To me, they set off the verses and separate them. The Bible is about loving and enduring through hardships. This quilt says I can handle anything and be happy about it.

    I like the strips between the verse blocks. It sets each verse apart and make them stand alone. I vote for the divider strips. It's going to be a pretty quilt!
