I did spend a couple of hours in there on Saturday so I would have something to write about. I finished a few more boring brown blocks for my sister's quilt...
But I spent most of that time cutting and sewing up this second Burgoyne Surround block.
Isn't it pretty!
Isn't it pretty!
Now I have a total of two blocks completed. So many more to go....
I am looking forward to seeing what the RSC color announcement for October will be. That will give me even more reasons to ignore my sister's quilt! :)

I used to think about making that block then thought it looked like too much work!
It does look like a lot of work! How many blocks are you planning on making and what size is it? As long as you stay steady...you'll get there! It is an amazing block!
Beautiful Burgoyne blocks! I'm so tempted to start making some myself.
Very pretty blocks, with lots of itty bitty pieces! Sometimes needing to write a blog post is my only motivation for getting into the sewing room. Hope your sewing mojo returns soon.
These weekly links parties are good for productivity. October is orange -- just in case you want to avoid grey and brown for a bit longer.
I am a big fan of the Burgoyne Surround pattern and you have inspired me to pull out the one I start several years ago. Your version is awesome.
I'm always happy to see other people also making BS blocks! Such fun to make, and not as complicated as they look!
I like the colors you're using to make these blocks! Your scraps make the most amazing things! :)
I'm enjoying these blocks a lot!
Ditto what Gayle said! I love your version.
October is PINK for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Have fun ignoring that boring brown!! LOL
Love the blocks! So pretty and my colors!
I am trying to get to a point where I can do a post of what little I have accomplished and go forward! At least my CT surgeries are over with and only 8 more days and I am good to go and out of brace during the day! Maybe I can catch up from the last 5 months! Have a great day
I love your Burgoyne Surrounded blocks and you are way ahead of me. I haven't even started mine yet. I'm trying not to start anymore large quilts until I finish a few in progress. I like your blue color scheme too.
Just think - you've doubled the size of your quilt! That's progress :) It's going to be beautiful!
Love your blocks!
