Broken Dishes Quilt Block Pattern

Broken Dishes quilt blocks separated with sashing and cornerstones.

Here, identical Broken Dishes quilt blocks are separated by sashing and cornerstones. To make a quilt like this, determine the number of blocks you need and then create a simple sketch, placing squares and bars as shown. Count the number of squares and bars needed, and cut.

Use any scale you like for sashing/cornerstone dimensions. In this illustration, each finishes with a width of 3". That means you would cut 3-1/2" x 15-1/2 sashing bars and 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" cornerstone squares.

Yardage requirements will vary, depending on the number of blocks you make. Use my How to Calculate Yardage instructions to determine fabric requirements.
