The 12th block of the Bible Sampler Quilt is based on the Story Dry Land Appears from Genesis 8: 8-12, after the Flood that lasted close to 200 days - for us that is nearly 8 months - not including the forty days it rained. Can you imagine 240 days stuck in the house with your parents, siblings, and their spouses for that long. Well maybe some on you can with the pandemic quarantines! Add all the animals into the mix and it would have been a difficult time - and you couldn't go out and walk down the road and take a drive in your car!
Imagine how exciting when the waters started to go down and they could actually see land in places. I would have been doing a happy dance.
The name of the block is Dove in the Window I paper-pieced the block so it wasn't too difficult to do just two wide Y seams. I'll be back next week for block 13.
