Religion was a very strong and vital force in the lives of the early settlers; and as a result, the women who were devout to the Bible often made biblical references to naming their quilts.  The designs were made with a particular passage or story of the Bible in mind - such as Garden of Eden, Crown of Thorns, or Rob Peter to Pay Paul.

The collection of twelve in this book contains some of these Bible Favorites that are most attractive because the blocks consist of many pieces set together to form a dainty and eye-catching pattern - for example: Joseph's Coat, or David and Goliath.

Also included are coverlets made from just two units, which are easily carried about for ideal pick-up needlework during spare moments, and which are quickly pieced together to form a pretty quilt.  Two of these are Job's Troubles and Wonder-of-the-World.

Whether you're a novice or expert at quilt-making, you will find that the designs shown on the following pages are not only fascinating to make, but compliment-winners when completed.
