12 Women. 12 Quilt Blocks.

12 Opportunities to Grow in Faith.

Welcome to our Women of the Bible quilt pattern and block of the month quilt series—a scripture-inspired foundation paper piecing pattern set perfect for quilters who love both creative piecing, scripture studies, and biblical reflection. Designed to work with the calendar year, each of the twelve foundation paper piecing quilt block are inspired by an inspirational woman in scripture and include a scripture reading, devotional, reflection questions, and three size options (8×8, 10×10, 12×12).

Like our other foundation paper pieced blocks, each Women of the Bible quilt block comes with:

• suggested scripture passages to read
• introduction to the woman in the block, including scriptural and historical information
• devotional based around the faith-filled life she led
• reflection questions to connect her story to our own life
• three quilt block size variations (8×8, 10×10, and 12×12)
• plus an instructional video showing you how to foundation paper piece if you’ve never done it before. See below for video, and if you’re new to foundation paper piecing, here are my favorite supplies to get you started 🙂

Q: What skill level is this quilt pattern for?

Q: How do I know what fabric I’ll need?
A: For this Women of the Bible quilt, I’ll be using primarily solids from Robert Kaufman. I have a bunch of fabric left over from making both the Jesse Tree quilt and the Holy Week quilt, so it’s a great fit to continue working with the solids. A fabric variety pack will be a great place to get you started, though you’ll also want to add in a few shades of browns for skin and hair tones.
