Broken Dishes
60 x 78
I started making these six inch Broken Dishes blocks back in 2016 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) Project to use 3.5 inch scraps if I had any in the color of the month.
Sometimes I didn't have any 3.5 inch scraps in the RSC color so I didn't make any blocks. And so it took awhile to accumulate enough blocks for a nice twin sized quilt. I put the top together back in May of this year and since I found a backing and had some light gray thread to use on this colorful quilt it stayed near the top of the quilting pile.
I think this will make a nice donation quilt.
I forgot to take a picture of the back but I used a very soft light green sheet. Since there's a lot of color on the front and since it is big enough for a bed I didn't figure it needed a fancy backing.
I used light gray thread and quilted spirals on my little Brother DSM.
Now I can mark another one off the list and move on to the next.
oh yes i love this a lot...and anxious to see more of those star blocks too!
