I wanted to make something creative and different, so I tried a block from one of Harriet Powers bible quilts. I kept some of the colors similar and added my own ideas to make it brighter, since this is the nativity scene and I will use it as a christmas piece. I want to add a saying to go with it, so I have to decide how I want to do it, then I plan on antiquing it heavily so it will look old and not so bright. Not the best photo, the flash makes it look like it is all standing out and really emphasizes my bad stitching, lol.

Your block is just charming, it must have been fun to make.
My dear, I wish you would adjust your blog settings a bit so you could post larger photos! Your work is so lovely, and I always wish I could see it a bit better. I am sure I miss a lot of the details.
I love the primitive look of that block ~ and once again, you chose the perfect fabrics.
What a sweet little quilt Debbie! So unusual and different!! It's going to be so charming for Christmas!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
Absolutely wonderful! I am very interested in designs similar to those that Harriet Powers created but have not attempted drawing my own.
Your block looks perfect to me :-)
Maybe we could both go to "how to use our camera" tutorials :-) Wonderful block :-) x x x
Looks great Debbie. Obviously Harriet's quilt is what I based my Bible Quilt on. I love taking antique quilts and doing them over through my eyes. Your eyes are pretty darn good. Great work.
Good golly that is just lovely! Karmen
