The Women of the Bible study started today!

Each week (for an entire year) a different woman is studied, and there is a quilt block representative of that woman.  The block below represents Eve.  Trees, garden path, tree of knowledge in the center.  A lot of people like to use red for the center tree to show the 'fruit'.  But that looks a bit too 'apple-ish' to me and I've never found where it says she ate a red peice of fruit.  Anyway, I did my center in gold-ish, more representing God, and the fact that she wanted to be like God.  This is just one of 52 blocks that will later be put together for one fantastic quilt.

I don't think it's bad for my first go.  You can see where the edges aren't exactly square - I always have that problem, even with accurate cutting and a 1/4 inch foot.  If you have any tips, please share!  While I'm usually a bright/bold type of gal, I'll be using Daiwabo Taupes for this quilt.  I've stashed fat eigths for a while and it's time to put them to use.

Off to go rally the girls.  Orchestra starts today too - fun fun fun!
