Cut Glass Dish is a quilt block pattern that was originally published for the Anniversary Sampler Quilt
. Use the block to make your own sampler, or for any other quilt.Follow the instructions to make half-square triangle units with the sandwich method, or choose another assembly technique (triangle squares measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" when complete).
I usually cut oversized squares for these units (for this quilt block I would cut 3 to 3-1/8" squares), and then use a square ruler with a diagonal line to trim my completed units back to the exact size after assembly; instructions are included in the half square triangle tutorial.
Finished block size: 12" x 12"
Fabrics shown are for clarity. Use tone-on-tones and an assortment of prints, but choose fabrics and colors that work with your quilt's theme.
