    Red face Biblical Blocks

    It's time to make my Missionary Daughter's quilt, I am looking for some help on blocks that relate to the Bible. I already have several downloaded but upon looking at then most are PP's, I don't know how to do that yet. So if you all would kindle suggest any biblical blocks that are fairly beginner friendly I would be so thankful! Like I said I copied several blocks but then going back to look at them they are like a foreign language to me being EPP or PP'ing. So far I have made a Carpenters Block and Cross & Crown. I do have a list but like I said they are turning out to be paper pieced somehow. This quilt means a lot to me for her special work in Bulgaria. Any help would be so appreciated with this devout project. THANKS to all that will take the time out to help me.

    PP is easy once you get the rythem and the blocks can produce some very sharp angles. Have ago.

    Oh, please give PP a try. I love it. To me, so much easier & points come out smooth & seams match. No cutting exact sizes of fabric…. Good luck...

    This just started this month. You should sign up, I think it would be quite fitting for your daughter's quilt

    Are you wanting something to show Bible things, or blocks with names like Jacob's Ladder, and Cedars of Lebanon?

    I have misplaced my book from That Patchwork Place called Biblical Blocks - Sampler Series
    by Makhan, Rosemary

    http://www.biblio.com/book/biblical-...ry/d/346060044

    Included Jacob Ladder
    Garden of Eden
    Devil's Claw
    Solomon's Puzzle
    Hosanna
    Crown of Thorns
    Golgotha
    Cross & Crown
    Joseph's Coat
    Children of Israel
    David & Goliath
    Heavenly Problem
    Carpenter Wheel
    Heavenly Stars
    Bethlehem's Rose
    Star of Magi
    Cross within a Cross

    I have the list of the blocks I had planned to make. You can probably at least be able to view these blocks and be able to piece them. Some of them are very complicated and that is when PP comes in to make piecing accurate blocks.

    Either way, I'd be happy with any ideas just preferably not having to do with paper.
