It's a Finish! Burgoyne Surrounded

 Burgoyne Surrounded

93 x 93

Quilted on my DSM

 The free pattern for this can be found at Quilted Twins

I started this as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project in 2017. I wanted to use up some miscellaneous scrap chunks of fabric so made blocks each month that primarily used the color of the month.  For instance this block used up some blue chunks. 

This block used up some pink scraps.  

You can kind of see how I very simply quilted it on my DSM - first I quilted diagonally along the chains Then I quilted horizontally and vertically along the sides of the sashing and through the middle of each block. 

 Then since batting (pellon nature's touch 80/20) instructions require quilting no farther than four inches apart I added more vertical and horizontal lines through each block. 

I did minimal quilting - it's difficult to wrestle a quilt this big through a DSM with a small harp. 

I used wide bleached muslin for the backing and neutral scraps for the binding. 

And I can mark another UFO off the list!

This was my goal #10
