Note from quilt designer: I have yet to show this quilt to anyone who didn’t love it. You will more than likely make more than one. Adam and Eve do not have detailed faces and therefore appropriate for most religious sanctuaries. I have supplied my own lettering for this quilt both in English and Hebrew. You may prefer to experiment with different fonts available to you. After making a few of these quilts, I have discovered that similar fabric should be used for both the elephant and Panel #1 to attain balance. Enjoy
