Thanks Jenny. Going to make a long table runner with these blocks. I'm in my seventies. No more big quilts for me. Anyway, I live in the tropics so seldom use a quilt on the bed. I love your teaching method. Take care.
I love Jenny, she is wonderful, very friendly! The explanations are perfect. I do not understand anything in English, but just watching the videos gives almost everything to learn. A hug.
Hi Jenny, Your are my hero. I started a beginners quilt class, but due to illness missed out of 4 blocks, so I have used you tutorials to catch up, my teach was amazed that I did them on my own, had to 'fess up and tell her I watched your tutorials. My teacher and owner of patchwork shop said of could not have had a better teacher, and that your Company has revitalised Hamilton. She too is in awe of you. Thank you so much
Jenny, you've done it again!! Awesome! Now if only I didn't enjoy eating and sleeping so much, I could quil. So much more!! Thanks Jenny!! N keep 'me coming!!
Thanks again Jenny, I love how your so honest and say that you need to look at the first block you made. I'm like that to. AND I love Carols quilt it's beautiful.
Jenny,Hi from theUK, I'm new to quilting and just making my first - your dissapearing 9 patch for my daughter, i have 4 boys to make for as well and this looks like a fab pattern for the eldest. Thank you so much for making quilting seem do-able.
This would be pretty to also use layer cake and make a BIG block for a center of quilt .Love the vintage blocks .Love your tutorials so simple to follow ,Thanks sew much Jenny
Hi Jen, after figuring shipping+transformer/converter cost for Spain, I decided to get get it from Oliso directly from their branch in the Netherlands. It's not your model, because yours is for Pros and I'm still a baby, lol. I got the simplest model but it still HAS IT ALL and I'm IN LOVE with it. Every time I use it I think of you and your great tutorials, so THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! Sorry I couldn't get on your web but I FULLY RECOMMEND IT TO ALL YOUR FANS WHO LIVE IN THE US! Thanks again Jen!
I just love the "new" way (as opposed to how I was doing it 20 years ago) of making half square triangles for the pinwheels. Soooo much better and easier. It's one of those things that when you see it, it makes you wonder why in the world you didn't think to do that, too. I can't wait to try them again using this technique. Thanks!
Love this one too and the material. Thanks Jenny but , you know I'm gonna have to watch again so it will help me remember how you done this. Lol. My memory is not as good as when I was younger.😁😍
Thanks Jenny .I love your tutorials you always make it simple and easy. I cannot miss any of them. But wish to be able to make them all one day. Have a wonderful day!
Every tutorial you do is just so amazing....I want to do them all! Your instructions are easy to understand and the outcome is beautiful every time. You are my Quilting Hero! Keep those tutorials coming.
Jenny, I like this block. it has a lot of history behind it. It's also pschodelic in a way because you see other designs in it. pinwheels and hourglasses. really cool.
Love this look...you make every thing look so easy, Jenny. Every time I watch a video I decide to make that quilt....oh, my I have such a long long list of ones I want to make.
My personal take on the Broken Dishes pattern is to use a neutral background, i.e. muslin or tea dyed muslin, to place the focus on the Broken Dishes print. Wow, I love the Log Cabin setting strips to shift the block orientation.
This quilt is lovely - just wish I'd had another look at the tutorial before I sewed my layer cake squares together and chopped them up! Oh well, pinwheel quilt now - broken dishes later!!! Sarah
Jenny, you may not be French (me either lol) but you said it pretty well right. You made me laugh the way you said that. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials, love them all!
Sharon, Yes you can use a fat quarter, but you will have to trim down one side first so that you are using a square that is 18x18 inches. I believe this will yield about a 16 inch total size block after sewing all 4 of the smaller blocks together. That is a really smart idea, especially for those of us who have a whole lot of fat quarters. Lol
It really makes my day when I get to watch another new tutorial from you! Love this block! Was wondering about the sashing? How wide are the strips and where are the strips sewn to? Thanks again for another great tutorial!
@phillis mueller The layer cake is 10x10 so I think you just cut a light and dark one down to the 5x5 size (charm pack size). Then you will have 4 squares that are exactly alike that you sew together like Jenny is showing. The 4 squares make the broken dishes square. I hope my explanation makes sense to you! Jeanette
I look forward to making this and have ordered the Quilting Quickly Summer 2013 from your website. That issue has the printed directions for this quilt.
Hi Jenny, I like the way you make this block, instead of using all the 1/2 square triangles, however, with layer cake, what is the unfinished block size? I squared my and it measured 11" square. Is that correct? Thank you.
One 4patch should end as a 3 3/4 block (finished size) if sewn with an 1/4 inch seam. So so full block should have the size of 7 1/2 inch finished size.
Great video but I would love the shashing part to be added :) I have always loved the way the blocks are set in the sashing this way, but don't know how to do it :)
What about the sashing you used on the blocks? You mentioned a log cabin on two side, what size are the strips? It's a beautiful quilt - can't wait to started on it. Thanks for all the tutorials!!
I want to use this method to make a smaller version of the Broken Dishes Block, because it seems so much easier than actually cutting and sewing triangles, but I just wonder (to do the math and size it down) at what size does the block Jenny made with charm packs finish? Beautiful tutorial as always and tell Carol her quilt looks stunning. Thanks.
Love this tutorial. I have 2 questions. Because you are working with bias edges, would it help to use spray starch or best press on the squares before you cut them? and also, do you ever press your seams open since you have so many that are crossing?
Thanks Jenny. Going to make a long table runner with these blocks. I'm in my seventies. No more big quilts for me. Anyway, I live in the tropics so seldom use a quilt on the bed. I love your teaching method. Take care.
Carol's quilt is beautiful ❤️
Jenny has so many beautiful quilts and ideas. I appreciate all the tips she gives to help make everything so much easier and fun to do.
I love Jenny, she is wonderful, very friendly! The explanations are perfect. I do not understand anything in English, but just watching the videos gives almost everything to learn. A hug.

Another winner! I like the one Carol made too. Tell her she did a great job!

I love with this! Can't wait to start my version, as my list of "To Makes" gets longer and longer! Once again you make it so simple. THANK YOU JENNY!
Love this one too and the material. Thanks Jenny but , you know I'm gonna have to watch again so it will help me remember how you done this. Lol. My memory is not as good as when I was younger.😁😍

Lovely pattern and most of all - EASY! Love the colors and especially love Carol's - thanks for sharing!
Glad we can help you out Margaret! Good luck on your first!
It's a beautiful quilt and would also look great using batik fabric. Thank you for all of your tutorials.
Jenny, I like this block. it has a lot of history behind it. It's also pschodelic in a way because you see other designs in it. pinwheels and hourglasses. really cool.
Love this look...you make every thing look so easy, Jenny. Every time I watch a video I decide to make that quilt....oh, my I have such a long long list of ones I want to make.
Carol's quilt is gorgeous!! I love the colors and with no sashing it looks great. I'll have to try this one.
Thank you so much Jenny. You have helped me through a lot of "quilting puzzles" with your cheerful videos.
Cherine in Australia
I like your version with sashing the best. Lots of sewing little bits but worth it.
Thank you so much for all the free tutorials.
Thank you Wonky Girl!! There is a lot of sewing but it is so beautiful when you are finished.
Thanks Jenny! Every time I need a new quilt idea, you give me one!
My personal take on the Broken Dishes pattern is to use a neutral background, i.e. muslin or tea dyed muslin, to place the focus on the Broken Dishes print. Wow, I love the Log Cabin setting strips to shift the block orientation.
Hi and thank you so much for all your great tutorials! 🌸🌸
jenny...Love your Broken Dishes tutorial...another one to add to my growing Bucket List!
It looks fabulous with that fabric line!
Been in a slump and you have just grabbed me out of it! Thanks for all you do Jenny
Jenny your Tutorial is so good! I follow you always and have perfected my quilting methods thanks to you. Best regards, Monica from Bolivia 🇧🇴 📍✂️
Looks harder than it is. This is beautiful and probably a good start for a beginner. Dee
We just started using the baby lock, and they are wonderful!
I am addicted to you and your videos. You are really great!!
This was great as I have some large squares that I didn’t know how I was going to use them but this is PERFECT! Thanks 🙏
Great tutorial on Broken Dishes Quilt Using Precut Fabrics. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again Jenny, just love your great videos and always so easy to follow!! Best Wishes, Annie in Saudi Arabia
How will I ever get caught up! ;-) I want to make everything you show us!
This quilt is lovely - just wish I'd had another look at the tutorial before I sewed my layer cake squares together and chopped them up! Oh well, pinwheel quilt now - broken dishes later!!! Sarah
Mom sure has some great ones!
This is a great block. There are two p inwheels going up and down and left and right. Two designs in one block!
awesome as usual
You make it look so easy! I love this pattern.
Jenny, you may not be French (me either lol) but you said it pretty well right. You made me laugh the way you said that. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials, love them all!
I love this. 😍 love how your manicure is always on point too. 🙌👍
As usual Ginny, you have shown me a new trick. I've been doing the half squares in a more time consuming manner, Thank you, now I can make more!!! -:0
Jenny, You've done it again. I love your videos! I love shopping at Missouri Quilt Company too! Great selection and deals. KEEP THEM COMING!!!
I really like that iron!
Sharon, Yes you can use a fat quarter, but you will have to trim down one side first so that you are using a square that is 18x18 inches.

Awesome quilt Jenny!
She sure does a wonderful job doesn't she?
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your Tutorials, they get me very inspired!!! Thank you
Another great tutorial! Love it. I am going make a few blocks and make table runner.
This will be one of my next projects......love it!
It really does, looks like so much work right!?
I know! This is one of my favorites too! Thank you!!!
Thank you Monica!!
you are Fantastic Jenny!!!
That's a great idea! I will see what I can do.
That helps a lot. Thank you for taking the time. Off to the sewing machine I go.
It really makes my day when I get to watch another new tutorial from you! Love this block! Was wondering about the sashing? How wide are the strips and where are the strips sewn to? Thanks again for another great tutorial!
Another wonderful tutorial - great excuse to go to my QLS - :).

I did it. It turned out so beautiful. my colors purple, silver, pink,black and white The purple is the accent color.
Lindos trabajos.....felicidades desde colombia
Thanks Laura!!
so clear and simple..thank you
I look forward to making this and have ordered the Quilting Quickly Summer 2013 from your website. That issue has the printed directions for this quilt.
Great point! I will have mom take a look.
You can find them on our site, they are called an Oliso Smartiron Pro. :)

I like doing this with layer cake crazy eights method.
Great video but I would love the shashing part to be added :) I have always loved the way the blocks are set in the sashing this way, but don't know how to do it :)
I love the broken dishes without the individual borders like Carol's. How many charms would I need to complete a queen size quilt?
Mom likes it alright. It has its quirks but it is pretty neat huh?
Thank you!
Not yet, but it should be coming out soon.
We are working on a borders tutorial right now. Stay tuned!
Thank you so much!
I love this tutorial. What is the size is the finished of each block? TIA
What about the sashing you used on the blocks? You mentioned a log cabin on two side, what size are the strips? It's a beautiful quilt - can't wait to started on it. Thanks for all the tutorials!!
I want to use this method to make a smaller version of the Broken Dishes Block, because it seems so much easier than actually cutting and sewing triangles, but I just wonder (to do the math and size it down) at what size does the block Jenny made with charm packs finish?
Beautiful tutorial as always and tell Carol her quilt looks stunning. Thanks.
It's an Oliso Smartiron Pro.
love it
Haha those are valid points GrammyCross! :)
Love this tutorial. I have 2 questions. Because you are working with bias edges, would it help to use spray starch or best press on the squares before you cut them? and also, do you ever press your seams open since you have so many that are crossing?
We are still working on coming up with an easy way to do that. We will let you know!
Right now we just have the tutorial. The pattern will be here soon.
Great pattern! Since the layer cakes have multiple patterns, is the gray fabric from solid charms?
A charm pack comes in 42 squares so you would need 168 squares altogether.
We have a sashing tutorial coming out soon. I will have mom show you.
Love all your tutorials. Watch them over and over. How can we get the pattern for this quilt?
