Burgoyne Surrounded by Boxy Stars

Yes, I have finished the block portion of the Burgoyne Surrounded quilt made with unbleached muslin and all scrappy browns, but I will wait until tomorrow sometime to start adding the borders. However, in the meantime, I have been cutting out Boxy Stars so that I will know if I want to make the quilt. Of course, I'll want to make it since I already have 4 blocks out of 12 completed. And I hope that Bonnie Hunter will give us a new pattern to use those 2-inch half-square triangle blocks that are the waste pieces from Boxy Stars. I love those kind of triangles. This summer I made a Picket Fences quilt out of all colors of scraps - just divided into darks and lights. Two pieces out of the block had those waste triangles, but I sewed them together before cutting them from the original pieces. A triangle that would have otherwise been thrown in the trash! After getting the quilt completed I didn't know what to do with all of the triangles. So...I took them and stitched them all with the dark triangles in the bottom right-hand corner. Added two borders and then handquilted it. Even though it was just a mini-quilt or table-topper, it looked very vintage. It was used on a table in October with another small quilt that I made and hand-quilted. The table was lovely! I will try to add some photos when I can get my camera and the quilts out. I know everyone loves to look at quilts! Here's hoping I can do this soon so that you all can see what I have been up to.
