I am making a quilt for a lady in our choir who has cancer. I need ideas though. Please help me?

Question

I was going to do a regular block quilt since it is the easiest for me. I was thinking of having some different scripture verses embroidered into some of the blocks that would help give her some strength in this hard time in her life. So what I need from you guys is some color ideas and some scriptures. Thanks!

Answer 1

1 Peter 5:7  (New Living Translation)

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you

Nahum 1:7

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,

Isaiah 12:2

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

Philippians 4:13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Psalm 145:20

The LORD watches over all who love him,

Psalm 57:10

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

1 John 3:1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

Philemon 1:3

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 1:2

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Jude 1:2

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

You can go to biblegateway.com and put in a word (such as love, peace, care) and come up with bible verses.

As for colors, etc. you might try to find out her favorite color or colors, also consider, unless you live in a big town, that the places to buy fabric might not have a big selection, so you might want to check out the store/stores first.

Good luck!  I'll pray for you and the lady in your choir.

Oh, you can also put in which bible translation you want.  The first one on here is New Living, but I believe the rest are New International Version

I'm actually doing a block quilt right now, in 9 patch, and it is the easiest.  Then you sew the blocks together.

So, if you have a favorite color scheme, you could alternate the patches of 9, in it.

Answer 2

how about a gods eye pattern

Answer 3

A good mindset is the best answer I can give

Answer 4

The previous answer has the scripture verses - I would suggest you try to use soft  relaxing pastel colours - the colour of the sky the pale greens and beige of the earth.

It is a lovely gesture on your part to offer someone who is in suffering.

Answer 5

i think pastels whould work. something that looks relaxing
