Our supply pastor who has been with us for 10 months, is finishing up next month, and I'd love to make him a quilt. Most likely I'll do like a couch size.
I would love some ideas of quilt patterns for it, maybe make it a sampler? Anyone have any ideas, or seen a similar one done? Thank you! Diana :-) |
I was thinking some sacred blocks, mixed in with regular?
Hobbies? I only think of him talking of his kids & grandkids. :-) Thanks Loretta! |
I've not graduated to doing photos yet.... lol!!!
Can you think of any faith type blocks? |
How about Jacobs Ladder pattern look in quilters cashe...there are a few named for bible events
:D |
Try these for a start
Jacob’s Ladder Crown of Thorns Cross and Crown Church Windows God’s Eye Heavenly Star Joseph’s Coat Ruins of Jericho Star of Bethlehem Tree of Paradise There are a great many such blocks. Have fun! |
any idea of his/her favorite colors?
what kind of dwelling he/she lives in? I love couch size quilts (to me, a couch size is about 60 x 85) - big enough for most adults to cover up in - small enough to be able to stitch in the ditch quilt it on my machine Are you planning this as a surprise? Some of the religious symbols are beautiful and work up well. You might be able to find them in either the church's literature or at a library. |
