Let’s face it, quilting takes a very long time. Making intricate quilts means hours and hours of time dedicated to designing, cutting, sewing, and completing a work of art. When you are taking so much time to create a project, why not make it extra meaningful? If you are looking for a way to make your quilts extra special, consider creating a quilt from the piecing projects provided in Jaynette Huff’s Paper Piecing Quilts of Praise. This lovely collection contains over 20 quilt squares and quilting projects inspired by traditional Christian hymns of faith.

The designs on every single one of these quilting blocks and projects are meaningful and beautiful. They possess a vintage and traditional look that is hard to capture these days while still looking authentic. This authenticity comes from the origins of these lovely pieces. The author spent over a year quilting and creating with a quilting guild that spent each week listening to hymns, having discussions, and designing. You can truly see the passion for her art and her faith in these designs.

As far as quilting collections go, this book is pretty standard in its layout. Each block comes with its very own page with instructions on how to craft the piece. More complicated blocks come with several pages of detailed layouts and patterns. Additionally, there is a short blurb on where the inspiration for the piece came from, helping you explore the author’s own journey and thought process. The design, layout, and table of contents are easy to navigate.

Artful and Christian quilters will find a lot of value in this collection of pieces that were inspired by beloved hymnals. This is an excellent collection to keep on your shelf for special holidays.
