Jaynette Huff lead a group of local quilters in a project with a similar theme a couple years ago and wrote a book with all the quilt blocks.

Quiltersloftcompany.blogspot is doing an 8" bible block quilt. They put up free blocks to follow. Hope you find what you are looking for. Sounds like a very nice quilt.

If not the fruits then a source of other biblical charaters or events in the Bible. Need five to seven different blocks to use in the border. Sure appreciate the help! Chris

Chris, a LQS in my area has been emailing a BOM/BOW that is all biblical blocks. This link will take you to a picture of the three color ways for the quilt. It reminds me of a Dear Jane quilt. They put PDF links in their regular emails to download the pattern. So far I have downloaded 39 of them. If you sign up for their emails, you can get the rest of the patterns yourself. Maybe if you contact this shop, they would be able to send you the first 39 blocks. If they can't, PM me with your email and I will try to find a simple way to send them all to you. Let me know.😃

When we first started quilting, we made a sampler throw of Bible blocks. Do not know where the teacher got these, but I am pretty sure I have them. Some were Peter Robs Paul, Kings Crown, Jacobs Ladder and ect. I think there are 9 of them, nice size as I remember. If you will pm me I will look and call you! Be happy to share my patterns. Also have a Jerusalem Cross that is either a small wall hanging or a pillow top! This is one that you will never see, as the pattern was made by a lady I know!

I have a book titled Creative American Quilting Inspired by the Bible written by Suzzy Chalfant Payne and Susan Aylsworth Murwin. The stories behind each quilt block are so interesting and informative! Absolutely love this book.

I had a book that is probably out of print that contain Biblical blocks. The book was so popular that a second book was published. I found my blocks with the sheet containing the templates but no title of the book was not printed anywhere. Blocks were such as Rose of Sharon, Jacob's Ladder, Carpenter's Wheel, Star of Magi, Bethlehem Rose, Hosanna, Cross with in a Cross, Devil's puzzle. Job's Tear, Road to Jerusalem, Cross and Crown, Joseph's Coat, Solomon's Temple and Tree of Life.
