broken dishes
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've just finished putting a broken dishes together. 884 little blocks. I think I was marginally insane when I thought of making this, but I'm really glad I did. I'm loving the effect. I'm thinking I might put a navy blue border around all of it.

Now my question is...how would you quilt this? The pattern is kind of busy, so I don't want to make it so it hurts your brain to look at it.

Whaddya think?

Lovely! And thanks for sharing it. About 40 years ago, I saved the pattern and started it, in addition to working and raising children. Needless to say, I didn't get far! When we moved 4 years ago, I found it again. Now I'm wondering if I still have it?

Great top! Amy over at freemotionquiltingadventures.blogspot.com/ is starting on quilting her triangle quilt and it may give you some ideas.

My goodness you have a lot of patience! Your quilt is gorgeous. If it were mine I'd probably do some kind of swirly all over design.

Terrific top! I'd quilt it with a curvy, swirly all over type of design~

i love broken dishes and yours is fine.

I would either so an all-over that did not distract from the piecing and secondary design of the color placement--or if you wanted to emphasize the flowing nature of the color placement you could have waves of feathering flowing along the color lines.
