Almost there!!




Two more blocks are done! I actually finished these blocks last week but forgot about them. I have 4 blocks left and have decided to cut them all out at once. It's no fun to cut that many pieces. I'm hoping things will move quickly with the final four all in process at once.

Here are my blocks.


I love the look so far!  I'm glad that I kept working on it. I'll like it even better when it's finished!!

I'm very excited about tomorrow.  I'm going to the Vermont Quilt Festival! It's my first time going. I'll be joining a few friends and taking a bus to VQF. We'll be there for the afternoon. It's going to be a long day but I can't wait! I'll blog about it sometime next week!! Going to bed early!

  4. Love how your Burgoyne Surrounded is turning out. I made several when I lived in Tennessee and would love to do a scrappy version if I can come up with a way to do all the cutting in some kind of more streamlined fashion.
    Have a great time at the festival!

    1. Thanks, Dora!! That's the problem with this block, too much cutting for too many pieces! I think it's all worth it. The quilt show was great!
