Broken Dishes

It's definitely time for an update!


This traditional layout/design is call Broken Dishes ~ pieced entirely from half square triangles.  I think I may have harbored a secret desire to make this block in each and every Kona colorway in stash, but I might just have reached my HST saturation point (for the time being!).


I really like this particular layout and although I tend to only see the four-patch single color block (maybe because that is what my focus has been whilst piecing the blocks), now and again I also catch a glimpse of a myriad of colorful pinwheels - can you see them?


Today I am working on adding some borders ~ which does involve piecing with more triangles.   I am really looking forward to quilting this quilt top as I think it will add a whole other dimension to the overall look of the quilt.


Looking forward to, and wishing you all, a fun and productive sewing week,
Rita
