Near the finish line with the brown Burgoyne Surrounded quilt top

Yes, I am near the finish of my brown scrappy Burgoyne Surrounded quilt top for my son. It has unbleached muslin for the background and all brown pieces (variety of browns) for the other pieces. It will have to be quilted by machine as soon as I can get it finished. But before that I will need to add the dark brown inner border and the medium brown outside border. Of course, I'll use the dark brown binding. It is really lovely! It is to be a Christmas present to my middle son. The oldest will be getting a brown (variety of brown fabrics) Snail's Trail with unbleached muslin for the background. It has two borders of brown. Sounds like a twin to the other one I am finishing? Yes, my middle son said that he liked the top and would like one in browns but he wanted the Burgoyne Surrounded because it was such a different pattern. Now, my youngest son will be getting a double pinwheel in all checks, stripes, and plaids except for the tea-dyed background. Even the two borders are plaids; I just need to put on the black and cream plaid binding. All three sons will be surprised at Christmas. Naturally, my little granddaughter Sarah will be receiving a zig-zag top with brights in pink, blue, green, yellow, purple and red. It has a background of white tone-on-tone and a border of blue. The scrappy binding is made of the same fabrics as the zig-zags. It will definitely keep her warm this winter. But what do you think I was doing this evening? I was cutting 4-inch squares for an exchange with my stitching group. We should all be able to get some really different fabrics. What will I make from them? Maybe a scrappy Irish chain? And then after I had cut out several squares, I started cutting pieced for the Boxy Stars blocks from Bonnie K. Hunter. Love it already! It goes together perfectly! Tomorrow is a busy day - helping my mother with her physical therapy and then to art class in the afternoon to work on a watercolor of a section of trees at our farm. That will also be a gift for one of our sons. Keeping busy is important to me. Now, I think I'll go out and read a little on CONFEDERATE ROSE.
