From Charlotte Hawkes' Scrappy Quilts on Craftsy:
On October 17, 1777, British General John Burgoyne was surrounded and surrendered in the Battle of Saratoga. This was said to be the turning point of the American Revolution. The Burgoyne Surrounded quilt pattern symbolically represents the event of the Americans circling around the British and breaking through the British lines. “Surrounded by Scraps” is an adaptation of this old traditional pattern.
This pattern has instructions for two sizes:
Small - Approx. 67" x 85.5" including a 5" border
Large - Approx. 85.5" x 104" including a 5" border
