Hello to all,

classic vintage by Lynda from NSW http://lyndainwonderland.blogspot.com/2014/01/catch-up.html |
What is so amazing to me about quilting is that this is a classic Burgoyne surrounded block named after General John Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga in 1777. Nothing earth shattering about the pattern, it is a variation of Double Irish chain, yet the fabrics used make each version wonderful.
One more little bit of info. I wanted to show a snapshot of the pinterest board, #APQquiltalong. Follow me on
Pinterest to see the actual board. There are many more versions to tempt you to make this quilt if you have not started yours yet.
Now that we have accomplished celebrating the General Burgoyne through this quiltalong, maybe we should move on to General Beauregard from Barbara Brackman's Book, Facts & Fabrications-Unraveling the History of Quilts and Slavery.
No seriously, moda has so many great indigo's coming, I may have found my perfect project.
Thank you following the quiltalong, as well as my blog.
Gratefully,
-modalissa
