Need ideas on how to quilt Bible Sampler
Am sitd all of the seams around each 6" block but I think it needs some more quilting. The blocks are all paper pieced with lots of seams so not sure what I could do with them. Want to do something in the bible text blocks but don't want to do anything that would make the text unreadable in places. Would love to have some ideas.

Beautiful! Could you keep it simple and stitch a box around the text? And then maybe some outline quilting in each block. It would be different for each block. I can see 1/4inch quilting line on the inside of the pinwheel block and a diamond outline on the block above and right of that. A diamond outline would work in a number of the others too. You might have to start and stop alot, but that way it wouldn't cover up important details or run over thick seams.

If you don't want to do much to mess up the text how about a narrow serpentine between the rows of print, maybe every 4 or 5 lines? I can't tell how big the print is but you can judge how to space it. Then quilt around the outside of the print with something curvy to compliment the squareness.
