Here is my first layout idea for the Broken Dishes blocks. I put up busy and solid-looking cornerstones. I am leaning towards the solid ones.
Here is the quilt layout with my planned border fabric plus using extra blocks as cornerstones. What do you think? Should I add a solid-looking red border before the outer busy border? Use a different border fabric altogether?
This would be a wall hanging or a table topper. I'll put a hanging sleeve on it so the new owner has that option.
Give me your input on colors, borders, etc. I alternated red and green blocks here. Would all one color block be better?
It's fun to have so many little blocks to play with. The blocks are 3-1/4", the cornerstones are 1-1/2" square, and the sashings are 1-1/2" x 3-1/4".

oh lovely!!
I like what you have, is it worth auditioning a stripe for the border?
Definitely the more solid green for the cornerstones. Because the blocks themselves add movement, it's nice to have a place to rest your eyes. Personally, I really like the border fabric you chose, but if it were my quilt, I would add a red inner border as you suggested.
Beautiful quilt, can't wait to see it completed. :o)
Here's my opinion:
1. Plain cornerstones.
2. Yes. A narrow red border first.
3. I like alternating red and green blocks.
This will be a really cute Christmas quilt!
I think either of the cornerstones would work - my eye doesn't really see those. Definitely a small red border first and I like the layout!
