Jacob's Ladder (quilt pattern)

Jacob's Ladder is a traditional quilt pattern characterized by a series of interlocking, stepped geometric shapes that create a visual illusion of stairs or ladders. Made with strips of fabric arranged in a specific order, the design typically features a repeating motif that appears to ascend or descend across the quilt surface. The pattern's precision in cutting and sewing allows the shapes to align seamlessly, giving a dynamic, three-dimensional effect. Often used as a symbol of spiritual ascent or progress, Jacob’s Ladder is both a visually engaging and meaningful design in quilting.
