Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just found this one. It is a Benjamin Biggs quilt (1870) called Apple Pie Ridge. I think I have it right. Anyway you can take a look at it by going to www.dearjane.com and then Just Takes 2. The pictures and instructions are there. I think I am going to do it but I just finished one in red and green. Will have to come up with some other colors. Anyone going to give this a try?

What a beautiful quilt.....2 color quilts are so striking!! And such an interesting history. Thanks for sharing.
When you sleep under a quilt, you sleep under a blanket of love.

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
Thank you so much for this link. While I am not going to do the Biggs quilt, my BFF and I decided this was the year to do a Dear Jane quilt. This site has so much valuable information and tips on it - it is FABLULOUS!
I can't wait to share it with her!
That is beautiful & love the history aspect.

Thanks for the link, I saw the Dear Jane quilts at the Shipshewana, Indiana quilt show last June and it was fantastic. Lots of great quilts and quilters. The entire show was fantastic...
Forgot to ask: Do you know if they are going to have a new free pattern available each month & how do you sign up for it if they do.
Happy Quilting
