Insanely beautiful...but I would be asking the same question, how to quilt it? Can't wait to see what you decided.

I really like the way you placed the colors in your broken dishes quilt. It is beautiful. I think I would quilt it with gently curves that would complement to color placement. To emphasize the triangles seems tedious and counterproductive. Please show us the finished quilt.

I agree with Quilterpurpledog - flowinging lines to compliment the colour gradations would add movement to the design.

You have done an amazing job!! Love it!!

Broken Dishes turns out to be just a variance of pinwheels and hour glass blocks. They all take a piece made of two half square triangles sewn together and put them together in different ways. But in this quilt you can see them all
