I think the last one would make a beautiful quilt.

Thanks for the links,think I will take black and whie out line of Lutheran Rose and work on atempting to applique a quilt.Maybe you quilters could help me, I was thinking about putting the description for Rose symbol on machine enbroidered blocks surrounding it,but here is my question should I just use Rose and description or would like to add THE Beatitudes,what do you think?

Will be interested in your final design.
Please send me a PM when you post the result so I do not miss it. (I am Lutheran)

very good explanations, i think i could come up using the second and third pictures

I can see myself quilting a Lutheran Rose myself. But I never would have thought of it myself.

My quilt buddy got an embroidery pattern from EL for the Lutheran Rose as well as the MS cross. She enlarged the rose & made an applique on a Bible bag for me and embroidered the cross on the opposite side. Both are absolutely beautiful. PM me if you'd like to see the one she made or if you'd like to get some help with your project.
