Biggs Quilt Block 17

I finished block 17 of the Biggs Quilt today. There are 8 more blocks to do for this 25 block quilt. I have started assembling the blocks and also got a piece of fabric for one border cut and marked with the pattern but haven't yet put any appliqué on it.  It feels good to have this block finished so that I'm ready for the new block when it comes out the first of the month. 

Biggs Quilt Block 16

No tiny leaves this month!  A pretty simple block compared to some we've done lately.  This is block 16 of the Benjamin Biggs quilt,mother blockof the month being done currently at Just Takes 2. 

One of these days I need to start the borders. I did trim and stitch together the first 10 blocks. I plan to quilt this quilt in sections and then put the quilted sections together. Blocks 1-10 will be my first section. I don't want to get to the end of the piecing and be overwhelmed with quilting this big quilt.
