The Pictorial Quilt

 
My progress on The Pictorial Quilt by Harriet Powers.
 
 
The descriptive captions are just as Harriet wrote them so many years ago.
Block 4...
Adam and Eve in the garden. 
 Eve Tempted by the serpent. 
 Adam's rib by which Eve was made.
The sun and the moon. 
 God's all seeing eye and God's merciful hand.
 
 
John baptizing Christ and the spirit of God descending
and rested upon his shoulder like a dove.

 
Jonah casted over board of the ship and swallowed by a whale.
Turtles.

 
Once again this is the pattern book that I'm using to reproduce this historical quilt.
