I realized that I have not posted about my new set of
Bible Book Blocks.
This year the History of Quilting group I belong to has been making
blocks that represent each book of the
Old Testament.
We could chose any colorway we wanted
and use other block designs if we felt so moved.
I had a box of red fabrics I had collected to make
the first "It Takes 2" and didn't get too far into that process.
I am loving these blocks made with the red fabrics, though.
Here are the blocks for September.
There isn't a lot of contrast in the 5th block,
but for now it's staying as is.
I love putting all of the blocks together on my
Design Wall.
When I'm ready to make the quilt top,
I'll decide on fabric for sashing and cornerstones.
Right now, nothing is coming to me
except navy or dark blue.
We shall see!
There are a lot of different red fabrics in these blocks!
For the most part, these blocks have been fun to make.
Some were a little frustrating,
but thankfully not many.
Four more to go with the Old Testament Blocks.
I don't know if I have enough background fabric to make
the New Testament blocks.
The quilt may stop here.
Happy Quilting!

Red and white quilts speak to me. Your blocks are beautiful and that dotted background is great.
The newest blocks are a great addition to your collection. I like the idea of navy with the blocks. Not quite black, but still a nice deep blue would set them off nicely. Just my opinion of course!
It's gorgeous! IMHO, it needs to stay the course as all red and white. -Jean
Love the deep red colors. I am sure it will make a fabulous quilt.
Wow the reds and white are great! I was going through all the colors in my head for sashing and so many totally different looks. Im with you on the navy or dark blue but a brown might work too to avoid a school colors look. Have fun with it.
