Burgoyne Surrounded
From scrappy bits and pieces of aqua (plus)
These are large blocks and after adding sashing 25 of them will make a 93 x 93 quilt.
I made one block last month from scrappy bits and pieces of purple to see if I liked it. I did so decided if I need 25 blocks for a quilt I would make two blocks per month. So here's my second purple block.
I used aqua waste triangles and 2 inch scraps to make some little wonky stars that will finish at 4.5 inches.
Waste triangles also went into some 4 inch butterflies. I've been using waste triangles and blue tone on tone scraps to make these.
Got scraps?
It is hard for me to resist any kind of stars. The teal ones look fabulous.
ReplyDeletePretty blues! Love the wonky stars and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteYour aqua stars with different backgrounds are fun! I always enjoy seeing the variety of blocks you're making!
ReplyDeleteyou get so much done!
ReplyDeleteThe sort of argyle look of Burgoyne Surrounded, with your plaid fabrics, is going to be a really amazing combination! And I love those stars too. Looking good, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. One can never go wrong with stars. Especially wonky stars.
ReplyDeleteYou are so prolific! Love everything this week, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThose Burgoyne blocks are really something! The purple one is lovely. So many great teal blocks also. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty teal scrappy quilt blocks here, very nice. If you keep going like this you are going to have a pile of quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great batch of scrappy blocks you have created! Love those little butterfly's.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like you wasted a thing and your twin blocks are going to make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! Thanks for the idea for my waste triangles. Now mine will all go into their own little box to be used for butterflies!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovelies!
ReplyDeleteI think Burgoyne Surrounded is going to be one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a unique and marvelous way of using prints. And this time you proved my point by using a solid.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of making Burgoyne Surrounded with scrappy backgrounds - it's going to be fabulous! (The list of quilts you inspire me to want to make just keeps getting longer and longer. Good thing I'm planning to live to be 300...)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you play!
I like the BIG Burgoyne blocks!
ReplyDeleteLots to choose from but the wonky stars are my favorite!
