Benjamin Biggs BOM



 Benjamin Biggs block 6- complete! You can find out about this quilt HERE.
So, I guess I am making a 3x3 so 3 more to go. I like the way it is a little quirky.




Gifts! The shirtings squares came from Martha and the necklace from Laurie. Can you tell what the necklace is? The bottom of a knife. I can slip a tiny pair of scissors in the top or maybe make a little cushion to keep pins. It is adorable and creative!! Thank you ladies!

Thank you for your kind comments about my FIL. He is so fragile and weak, it really breaks my heart. I'm glad I'm here to help him.

    The gifts are lovely - you will put them both to good use. 3x3 will be a nice size - quirkiness keeps things interesting :0)

    Your BB blocks look so good to me! I'm still trying to figure out what you think looks quirky. : )
    Cute gifts--that is a clever necklace.
    I'm sure you will give your FIL very tender care. He is blessed to have a caring DIL!

    I remember that blue and red fabric. I don't think I have any now but it is one I especially liked.

    A unique use for a hollow core table knife. A good recycle idea.
