This is one of the quilts that I made to showcase the prints in my
Emma & Myrtle fabric line. I finished the quilt back in May, so that's why there is green grass and green leaves in my photos! :)
This quilt is based on the traditional broken dishes block pattern. I even added borders to this one....something that I don't do very often! It's good to change it up once in awhile.
The background fabric in this quilt is a solid Ivory by Connecting Threads. For a few of the blocks I used a light print from the line instead of the background print, just for a little more variety.
I found this cute (and oh-so-perfect) backing at my local quilt shop. I was tickled at how well it matched, and I was especially happy to find it the first day I went looking for a backing, since I was under time pressure to get it done. No time to shop around or wait for sales. Ha!
I quilted this on my Juki with a simple loop-de-loop pattern all over using cream colored Aurifil thread. I really ought to wash and dry the quilt now so it crinkles up nicely! The quilt is a nice lap size, measuring 66" x 88". Perfect for snuggling under with a good book or a knitting project. Or both!
There are kits available for purchase
here, if you are interested. I have the pattern on sale
here, for a limited time. (Sale price is $6.00, regularly $9.00.)
I looked back on my list today and the last quilts I finished were in May....I think that's a new record for me. Not one that I want to continue, either. I better get back to finishing some quilts....and quick!

What kind of batting do you usually use? Your quilting is great!
Your new fabric line, Emma and Myrtle + broken dish pattern equals very cute.
The backing is perfect, I agree. Super.

This is so cute!!! I just love your beautiful new fabrics, they are so fun and perfect in this design!!
I love the simplicity of the design, letting the fabrics shine! Great job!
That is a beautiful quilt! I love how the pinwheels appear to my eyes, and then disappear and move to another place in the block. Your quilting and the backing are a perfect finish! ---"Love"
OOH, love it, wish I had more time to be at my sewing machine, but an outside of the home job has to pay for my fabric therapy, LOL
Beautiful quilt!
This is beautiful!! But I have to tell you, I was gifted a quilt made in the 30's with this exact pattern. I hadn't been able to place the name of it until today! I am super grateful!
Love your new fabric. Paula in KY
