Benjamin Biggs Wedding Quilt

 My quilt, which only looks a little like the original, is complete! Whoop! Whoop!
 The wind was blowing, but I did my best to get some decent photos.
 Sharon did a great job with the quilting. It was just what I wanted- a simple all-over pattern.

The buds in the block corners add a uniqueness and character to this quilt. Mine don't come close to meeting or being symmetrical. I love it- it's the Humble Quilt way.

If you want to know more about the Benjamin Biggs wedding quilt you can read it HERE. The antique was 5x5 blocks and measured 100" square and is from Indiana and made for Benjamin and Elizabeth Biggs. I love knowing the history of the quilts we recreate. Thank you Gay for your history and the excellent job of recreating these unique quilts! You can purchase the quilt blocks from Gay at Sentimental Stitches HERE.

    This is amazing! I love the quirkiness of it. Quilts like this make me want to learn appliqué.

    Love the color combo and the finish! I need to dig out my project and see where I was on it. Maybe I just saved the patterns.

    Beautiful. I love the swag border and RWB color scheme. Very cool pieced back too. And those cute humble-y positioned corner sprigs. Perfect! What a great finish!
