Benjamin Biggs Quilt Blocks

If you've followed along on my blog for very long you know I like to keep up with mystery quilts, BOM's and sew-alongs. This last month threw me for a loop and I fell behind on my BBiggs quilt.
Block 4

Block 5
All caught up!!
 Before I machine appliqued the two above I had these on my sewing room floor laid out. I started thinking I'd stop at 4 blocks and have a little wall hanging. 
Then I went to my sewing machine and found this one ready to go. So, maybe I'll make an eight block quilt instead!
Blocks 1-5 Complete!!

    Your blocks are beautiful! Love the color choices. I hope to finish hand appliqueing block #5 today. I'm determined to stay caught up.

    I stopped at three for the moment and put them together as 19 inchers for a table runner to go in the living room. I am hand quilting that, so I have some nice little project for the spring that I can take my time on.

    I just know that I will be so sorry that I did not do this quilt...I always love your quilts (applique especially) but there just isn't time for everything. Beautiful blocks.

    It's hard when you get behind, but now you're all caught up! They look great together, no matter how many more you make.

    You do better than me at keeping up with the sew-alongs and bom's. I am good at saving the patterns though!
