Biblical-based pieced blocks

Does anyone know of a source for peiced blocks based on the Scriptures. I need blocks to make a border for a quilt, maybe in the 6"-8" size block. I was hoping to find something that stood for the fruits of the spirit but all I found were signature blocks with the joy, peace, hope written on the blank block. 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

I have seen examples of pieced Biblical blocks. You might try quilterscache/quiltblocksgalore or try Goggling free pieced Bible blocks. I found this one and I will try to post a link www.patternsfromhistory.com/bible_quilt/

Just an idea, but if you are planning to use them for a border, how about just appliqueing letters and spelling out the fruit around the border? Love...joy....peace.....etc. Maybe add some other embellishments to spruce it up.

There was a free Biblical BOM run by an LQS either this or last year.
Sorry, but I have no clue beyond that, for now!

Let Google be your friend .... and I bet you will find it!

That's a great link Tartan!

What about applique of pears, apples, etc with the words written inside them : peace, joy, etc all around the border. It would give an additional interest.......jmho.

I would like to see a pic when it's done.

It is being published by Quilter's Loft Company. I am not sure how many back blocks you can get but I have the emails saved if you need some of the first ones.

Here is the link: http://quiltersloftcompany.blogspot....ek-starts.html
