Broken Dishes Quilt
Jul. 28th, 2017 10:50 amSupplies needed:
1 Layer Cake (Pre-cut 10 inch squres)
40- 10 inch squares cut from a coordinating background fabric
BSK (basic sewing kit)
Sewing Machine
Iron
Pair the layer cake (pre-cut 10 inch squares) with 10 inch muslin squares.
Put a layer cake piece with a muslin piece, right sides together and stitch 1/4 inch around all 4 sides of the square. Then cut them on both diagonals. This creates 4- half square triangles. (They are on the bias, so press carefully so as to not distort the shape.)
Making the Disappearing Hourglass Block:


To make the block just position the 1/2 square triangles into an hourglass block and then cut them into 9ths.
For a layer cake. Cut them into 4 1/4 inch squares.
Then reposition the pieces as shown below:
