Parables Quilt Along
During this 14-month quilt along, quilters will explore Jesus' life, ministry and teaching. Jesus often used PARABLES to communicate spiritual messages related to discipleship, money, the Kingdom of God, the end times and the grace of God.
Each of the 30+ PARABLES covered in this series MAY find their place into a queen-size quilt (the final design remains a mystery), OR, if quilters prefer, each of the blocks can be finished into stand-alone quilt projects, such as wall hangings, table toppers, dresser scarves, trivets, coasters, bags, banners, book covers and tablet cases.
