Priscilla Quilt Pattern: A Bible Block

Who was she, this woman Paul so respected that he mentions her before her husband and refers to her in five different places?

Pricilla was a co-worker of Paul in both building the church and in carrying our tent-making in several cities. She was probably a good and wise woman, certainly she was knowledgeable in doctrines of the newly established church. Many women today consider her to be an example of a woman in a leadership position - a deaconess, so to speak.

The block, in other color and value variations, is known as World without End or Golden Wedding. It forms great secondary patterns although the basic design is very simple.
