Ben Biggs - The Plan

One of my To-Do Tuesday goals is to pull out Ben Biggs, look over where I am and what needs doing and make a plan to proceed. Judy at smallquiltsanddollquilts. is working on finishing hers and asked if anyone wanted to join her. That is me. I started mine back in 2014 along with many others who collected the pattern free each month from Sentimental Stitches. I don't think the pattern is available anymore.  Count the scallops and see how many you come up with on the original quilt below.

I have 6 blocks completed and there are a total of 25 plus that amazing scalloped border. This picture shows 5 with corner buds but the pile on my table has 6. 

The plan, for now, is to complete the 4 blocks that just need the corner buds. I am doing this by machine, otherwise, it might have been complete by now. That may not be entirely true. I start projects far more than I complete. 

I astound myself with my efficiency at times. (Remember, I have a huge ego) Well, sometimes. I have countless see-through cookie containers neatly labeled with various bits and pieces of projects.

I have a thing for filling and labeling zip-loc baggies. When the patterns were released each month, I started working on them and filed them. I had forgotten how much I like working on several projects at a time with no deadlines. 

I did not meet my June OMG goal yet again as I wanted to complete the wedding quilt. I just was not having fun doing it. The colours are dramatic and I had a mental perception of trying to do the whole thing rather than just one block at a time. Sigh. 

So, my July OMG goal is to have fun working on several different quilts and if a completion happens, that will be a bonus. 

Blessings,

Chris
