A couple more layouts...............




In the comments yesterday my friend Mary G suggested turning 2 of the blocks in each set of 4 to make star blocks.  In this version dark stars are alternated with light stars.


This one is with all dark stars.  But wait, I have already made a Kaffe quilt with this layout but I think I don't think I made Broken Dishes blocks for it.







I made this one in 2022 and it isn't exactly the same but in my mind the layout was the same.  This one has double row stars and creates the same diagonals as the layout above.

I'm still leaning strongly toward saving the blocks for a potential border on a future Kaffe quilt, maybe a medallion quilt.

I vote for saving the blocks to use as borders later. Your future self will be quite happy 😃

Saving them sounds like a good idea.

Saving those blocks for a border would be my choice, too...but the designs are pretty also;)))

Fun to see a couple extra layouts with these blocks and your 2022 quilt is stunning… love the layout in that one.

Choices and possibilities abound and after you sew but change your mind, there's the seam ripper! What a treasure you'll have waiting for your use on something, whenever!

Hugs!
