pattern for preprintedd blocks
 
I have small preprinted scripture blocks. I am looking for a quilti pattern to use them. The quilt is for our newly married piano player at church. I have musical prints to go with the blocks. Any help is appreciated.

Square in a square?

Square in square blocks?
 
If the scripture squares are all the same size, and you have enough of the music note material, you could try a square in square design. I just completed a quilt runner in that pattern.

Dark green, white and mid tone Greens. I did 11" dg and white, with 5" mtg in centers.

Center small square on large, fold large square sides over small square raw edges, sew 1/4" seam. Press "flaps" out, rotate and repeat for other edges. 4 seams, you have a really easy "window" block. Trim, lay them out, sew into rows, and sew the rows together. It looks like you cut squares and rectangles for hours! I would post a picture, but I'm still learning how my new tablet does things!

I have seen these blocks bordered to square them up and use as the centers of stars

Is there a common size for these scripture blocks?? If they are square, most any basic block will work. There were only a few and they were very simple:

You can also check the fabric manufacturer's website for any pattern suggestion.

Do you have a tutorial source on youtube or a website for this method. I have used something similar but can't find the pattern. Thank you.

I used a sq in a sq method that used 2 square, one larger than the other. Sewed around all 4 sides and then drew from corner to corner of the larger block and trimmed it back to make the triangles. I know the points werent a good 1/4 in this way but was a lot quicker. If anyone has a source for the pattern I would love to have it. I can't find it anywhere.Thank you.
