Just a bunch of scraps tucked away in boxes ended up turning into a lovely one of a kind quilt! The scraps in this quilt hold a lot of wonderful memories and they are now combined in one place. Looks like I’ll be keeping this one to treasure. The finished quilt measures 59” x 73”,a nice size for an afternoon nap.
While going through one of the many boxes of scraps I have,I found five of these blocks.The block is called “ Burgoyne Surrounded ” and has many small pieces.The littlest squares are 1” finished.I had started these years ago and had forgotten them. Since I’ve found them,I’ve made a few more blocks to add to what I had.
A pieced sashing has been added to bring the blocks together. I’m thinking this is going to end up having a piano key border.Looks like I’ll be diving back into those scrap boxes.
This quilt went together rather quickly. I also found another batik that coordinates well with the two main colors.I used it as an inner border creating a buffer between the blocks and the outer border. This quilt is listed for sale on ebay.
This quilt is being made using the “Hunter Star” block.I used templates to cut out the different odd shaped patches.I decided this time to step away from a scrappy look and only go with two fabrics in the blocks.I’ve chosen medium and dark blue batiks.
A few blocks up on the design board and the pattern is beginning to emerge.
Quilting is done,binding is on and the finished quilt has been posted for sale on http://www.Ebay.com. Please search for “scrappy batik quilt”.
