Enough of the BS


With these four Burgoyne Surrounded blocks I now have enough to start assembling a top.  I used the free pattern at Quilted Twins which calls for 25 blocks and sashing.  I used scraps from my scrap chunk crate (scraps less than a FQ) to make the blocks so ended up with some wild combinations of fabrics in some blocks.    The sashing calls for 3 inch nine patches and I have plenty of those already made in my "Parts Department" so will pick through there to find some to use.  I think I will have to cut into some yardage for the neutral sashings but other than that...a LOT of scraps and some uglies have been used and the chunky crate is a little lighter.   


And as a side note...block look familiar?  This is Candy Necklace from Edyta Sitar's book Scrappy Fireworks Quilts.    I think I see a use for some strings in there and I may have already started this.
