mlsa3 715 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 This is my latest quilt. I still have to square it up and put the binding on it. It's the Carpenter's Star Pattern. Since Jesus was the ultimate carpenter I'm calling it my "Jesus Quilt." I'm giving it to a lady at church who is over our Sunday School Departments. She's such a sweet lady and always smiling and willing to help. I did a lot of ruler work and some pattern boards for the designs. The center design is a heart with feathers on the inside. To me the heart reminds me of Jesus's love for us all. One design is a dove which represents the Holy Spirit. Another block has a heart with a cross in it. That represents what Jesus did for us all. Then there is the crosshatch....just because I love to do crosshatching. 14 Bonnie in Ok, dbams, dramaqueenB and 11 others reacted to this Quote David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cagey 765 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 David: It looks wonderful. Though I think you may have shot yourself in the foot so to say, as there are going to be a lot of church ladies that want a quilt too. I really like your crosshatch and lines in the chevrons. They really pop. Also, is there a cross offset to the right in each heart block? Cagey 1 Quilting Heidi reacted to this Quote May your threads be balanced, and your bobbin forever full….

mlsa3 715 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Cagey Yes there is a cross offset in some of the smaller hearts...the hearts without the feathers. Yes, I already have folks from church wanting quilts. Quote David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlsa3 715 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 Wow David. Great quilting and such beautiful hearts, love them. How can you quilt them so nicely? Anne I sent clipart of each block design I wanted to Ron with R&S Designs and he made me a pattern board for each. Makes it so easy and they can be used over and over. 1 JeannieB reacted to this Quote David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buslady 2 Report post Posted August 30, 2016 Dave, this is the quilt that I always make for raffles and gifts. I do it because Jesus was a carpenter, but I had never thought to call it my Jesus quilt even though it was. I have made this quilt 8 times in the last two years. I lost my husband two years ago, and that is why I make this quilt. I know that John is with Jesus. Thank you for sharing.
