70” x 65” This piece is my re-interpretation of the traditional Revolutionary War-era quilt block, Burgoyne Surrounded. I updated it by replacing the traditional square grid with a triangular grid and using paint, printing, and discharging techniques instead of traditional piecing. Made from cotton fabrics, discharged, painted and screen printed, layered with felt and machine stitched.
