Materials needed:

• Square Bible story pictures from coloring books, Bible story books, or the Internet.
• Large assortment of crayons (Crayola _TM with 64 colors or more recommended)
• Ultra-fine-point Sharpie permanent marker, Faber-Castell Pitt artistic pen (Indian ink) or other ultra-fine-point fabric marker
• Roll of plastic or wax coated freezer paper
• 2-4 yards of white 100% cotton fabric. Bleached muslin or quilting cotton work best.

Highly desirable:

• Large light box for tracing patterns
• Access to scanner or copy machine
• Computer to enlarge or reduce picture size

Procedures:

• Select pictures for your quilt. For best results they should all be square and the same size. Consider the number of pictures you need. Consult a quilter to consider layout ideas and determine how many pictures to make, as well as the best size to make them.
• Copy, scan, or trace pictures onto paper if you plan to use a light box or alternative light source for tracing the picture onto fabric. (Note, you can’t just tear out a coloring book page to trace on a light box, as both front and back will show through.)
• Use a copier or computer to enlarge or shrink picture as needed to fit fabric size.
• Cut fabric pieces allowing an additional ¼ to ½ inch on all sides for seams.
• Cut freezer paper the same size as the fabric pieces and press it to the fabric using the cotton or wool setting on the iron. Do not use steam. The freezer paper will stiffen the fabric while you trace and color.
• Place a drawing under a piece of fabric pressed onto freezer paper with the  fabric side on top. Tape the drawing to the fabric to keep it from slipping, and trace the picture onto the fabric. A light box is almost indispensable here, however a lamp and a glass top table may be used, or the drawing and fabric may be taped to a well lit window for tracing. Practice tracing on a scrap of cloth before tracing on your prepared blocks. You need to keep moving the marker at a steady pace to avoid irregular lines and dark spots.

• Color the pictures on the fabric with Crayola crayons. If your fabric is not 100% cotton, you will need to purchase special fabric coloring crayons and will have fewer colors to choose from. Color as evenly as possible. Press lightly for coloring the daytime sky, or press hard for deep rich colors. Both will come out okay.
• With the tracing paper still attached to the fabric, place a paper towel over the picture and iron it using the wool setting. Do not use steam. Use another paper towel and repeat as often as necessary until no color transfers to the towel.
• Examine the colors in your picture. More color can be added at this point and the picture pressed again to make brighter and/or more even color in the picture.
• When you are satisfied with the colors, peel the freezer paper from the back of the fabric. The quilt block is ready to sew into your Bible quilt. If your quilt blocks are all the same size, any quilter should be able to help you complete your quilt.
