I finished it before the last installment of the borders because my quilt frame will not accommodate the full size as given so my quilts finished size is appx. 82 X 97". Absolutely no clue as to how this would turn out when I started it over 40 weeks ago but I am really pleased with the finished results and appreciate the refresher course of the Bible.

That is just beautiful. I followed this as well, but have not started on any blocks- want to after the first of the year. I also downloaded most of the blocks for the quilt Books of the Bible-but will need to see if I can get the pages I need. I love your quilt!!!~

Beautiful quilt and a wonderful way to do a refresher course on women of the Bible. Makes them come to life when we can connect them with something we love to do.

What an inspiration you are and your quilt is just stunning. I too made the blocks but haven't assembled them as yet. I'll wait until after the holidays so I can focus without distractions. I decided to embroider the blocks with the women's names so I know who is who. Thanks for sharing.
