Maybe I need a minder...

I've discovered something about laying out Burgoyne Surrounded blocks.

It makes me want to make more. 

I grabbed my rotary cutter and some nearby fabric.


By late afternoon, I had one of those two almost completely stitched together.


Looks like it's going to be a bigger quilt than I thought.

Or maybe the first of two?

Uh-oh.

  1. Nothing wrong with making two quilts. If you enjoy the piecing ... go for it. ;^)

  2. I have the opposite problem - all my quilts turn out smaller than I thought!

  3. Don't forget the option of the reversible quilt.

  4. Oh for Pete's sake! How many blocks did you make for the small-that-needs-to-be-bigger to begin with?

    Two quilts are better than one or something like that. I like Sally/Molly's reversible idea too!

  5. Gotta grab that motivation when it strikes you! Sew until you're surrounded :)

  8. The beautify of Burgoyne blocks escaped me until I saw your previous post with all those beautiful colors and the strong diagonals. I also like your little 9-patch corner blocks. This (or these) will be a beautiful quilt(s)!

    I know about grumpy knees, too, and I wish my hardwood design floor had carpet though, as you say, it might not help all that much.
