Units needed:
There are 6 different units needed to make this block; 4 are constructed using strips, and 2 are background fabric. Once you identify the units, count how many are in the block. Break the units into strip sets, and then figure how many inches of strip sets it will take to accommodate the units for all 5 blocks.

Referring to Class 170, Lessons One and Two, work the formula to determine how many strip sets are needed and how much yardage it will take to make the Burgoyne block.
Repeat the process for the large Nine-Patch block used as a connector block.
When you have completed the recipe, you are ready to put into practice everything you have learned up to this point, without guidance.
Once you have made this quilt, along with the rest of the quilts in the book, you are well on your way to becoming a master quilter!
We hope you have enjoyed this adventure into the beginnings of patchwork. You should be very proud of your work. If you followed all the instructions and worked carefully, we hope you will see that speed comes along with precision!
We look forward to continuing your education in the next book—Volume 2, which is all about strips and squares but with the added excitement of working with diagonal sets, incorporated borders, and sashings, plus more about borders and quilting and more wonderful quilts! By the time you finish this course, you should be ready to go.
Happy quilting!
Harriet & Carrie
