   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!

   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

   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.

4. Home Sweet Home Quilt : A lawn that doesn't need mowed! Frugal Little Bungalow - July 2, 2014

   […] The Benjamin Biggs Wedding Quilt is beautiful. Applique is slow and tedious…I think there is more time in the prep work than in the stitching, until I get to a point on a leaf and then look out…but given that it is slow, and there is only so much time, what did I want to focus on going forward? I decided that for the moment, I’d still download the BB blocks each month while they are so graciously provided by Just Takes 2 for free, but that I would continue on with the red and green blocks that I was doing now, and go ahead and take the plunge and order the Home Sweet Home book by Blackbird Designs.
