A lady i know from the neighborhood asked me if i could make a quilt for her with some blocks that she had. normally, i don't do this anymore...but i like her...so i said yes. while i was out of town, she gives my husband a baggy with blocks in them. they are Jesus blocks. i've never made a Jesus quilt before. LOL
After discussing sizes and colors and designs and prices and such with her, she decided on just a small throw over the back of the couch size....40x50". so this is what i came up with.
The blocks have the picture fused onto them. i think they were run through a printer. some of the pics have lines through them that show when the printer isn't working properly.
The blocks were red, blue and predominately brown. it was a head scratcher to figure out what color fabrics to use.
I finally settled on browns. the rectangles around the pics looks kind of red...but it is a brown...i guess a reddish-brown. hahaha
I decided the sashing needed to be something to pop...otherwise it was all just boring. black and gold did it.
Pretty simple and i hope, effective. won't get quilted yet for a few weeks, but it is ready. i don't think i will quilt over the pics....they are kind of thick. have to come up with some kind of design
What quilting design would you put on a Jesus quilt? i'll be thinking on this one for a while. but, perhaps something wonderful will come to me...
tomorrow

you could do an egg and dart in those brown/red rectangles, and divide the dart in two to make 2 fish, tails touching
