Hi there, I’m writing my post earlier today… my husband, David said I had incomplete thoughts and typos in my post last night!  I was really sleepy after all the walking we did yesterday at the Mid-Atlantic quilt Festival in Hampton, VA.  LOL!!!

The Burgoyne Surround quilt is one I’ve always wanted to make, however, I like the scrappy look. I found this pattern in Edyta Sitar’s book “Scrappy Firework Quilts.”

As soon as I saw it, I liked it!   Edyita’s quilt has sixteen blocks (14 ¼”) with sashing finishing at 78 ¼”and mine has only nine blocks (19”) finishing at 84”.  I have lots of scrap fabric, so I made eighteen blocks to make two quilts… I have two daughters and when I’m making quilts for them I always make two.  So with my favorite tool – EQ7, I began the process of designing.

The piecing process was straight forward with four patches and nine patches.  I foundation pieced the irregular nine patch center.  All in all, easy!  The label is embroidered into the backing.

Bernerdett King chose a beautiful design and a fantastic job quilting them on her long-arm.

I think this would be lovely at a picnic, the beach or on a lawn watching fireworks!!

That’s all for now, see you tomorrow.

Jennifer
