Rosemary Youngs has championed the Bible quilts in my search to this point. She has designed two awesome Bible quilts, one for the Old Testament and one for the New Testament. She created these quilt block patterns about 10 years ago.
Each block is appliqued using fabric pieces to create the unique Bible story pictures.
She taught quilting classes in the town where she lives using her hand applique patterns. Sunday school teachers were eager to take her classes to make the Bible quilts to teach children.
Rosemary says, “It was really fun to design the blocks and to use special charms or buttons to make them three dimensional.”
Rosemary’s quilt patterns are available on her website, Rosemary Youngs’ Quilt Books, CDs and Patterns. UPDATE: This website is no longer available; however, her books are available through several other options such as Etsy, eBay, and more.

Hi Rosemary
Im new to Pinterest so I am not sure how to communicate with anyone so please forgive me if I contacted you in another way.
I have a quilt my Grandma made the squares for we believe around 1920
Our mom had it machine quilted in the 1960’s.
My daughter just had my first grandchild and i would like to pass it on to her but was I was hoping to identify the stories the best I could first.
Would you be willing to help me or direct me to a further resource please?
There are 24 squares some of which we believe we know.
Thank you in advance!
Kathy
