Happy New Year everyone! I wish all of you a happy, healthy and quilt filled 2014!
Just Takes 2 - The Benjamin Biggs Quilt
Today is the start of the Just Takes 2 Benjamin Biggs quilt. I hope you'll join Brenda and me for this journey. She has the first block for you. The link to her Just Takes 2 page is at the bottom. You'll be able to download the pattern for FREE for one month. It will then be retired to the Online Store where you can purchase any of the blocks you missed.
There's lots of places to share things with each other, post pictures of your blocks and get help if you have any questions. The Just Takes 2 blog site hasn't been fully updated yet but there is a Basic Information Page for the quilt. It has the fabric requirements, block schedule and other information you may find helpful. You can always email us if you have questions.

Do you remember the great blog that was created for my Beyond The Cherry Trees quilt? They've set up a blog just like it for the Benjamin Biggs quilt. You can visit the blog by clicking - HERE. I know with the Cherry Trees quilt there were some stunning blocks to see so you don't want to miss being part of the fun!
I'll be updating the Just Takes 2 page here at Sentimental Stitches so on the first of the month you can always find where to get your block and get to the store page for retired blocks too.

What an stunning quilt! I will definitely be collecting the patterns, thank you and Brenda for sharing this with us all!
Thank you so much for making this available! I was “sitting on the fence” trying to decide if I want to commit to this project, when I saw that Benjamin Biggs was born in Frederick county, MD…our county! I’ll definitely e participating!
What is the size of the block and the overall size of the Benjamin Button Quilt??
I cannot figure out how to sign up for the monthly Biggs quilt blocks – can you please add my name and e-mail address to your mailing list so that I receive the block automatically each month. I already have block 1 – many thanks, KLB
The blocks are 16″ and the quilt finishes at 100″ x 100″
There’s nothing to sign up for. You just need to visit Sentimental Stitches and Dear Jane to pick up your free blocks. There’s a schedule for where the blocks will be HERE. The first block is still available at Dear Jane until Feb. 1 when the second block will be here at Sentimental Stitches.
I vote for the dark purple polka dot background. At first I thought it was black and of course, you *know* I’m going to vote for that! LOL But seriously, the dark purple polka dot is really interesting and I think it highlights your focus fabrics well.
