Summer is slowly coming to an end. I have put away the pastel vintage sheets I've been working on this summer and recovered some hourglass blocks I made earlier. The masculine and subdued colors are calming. I have used a lot of Jo Mortons lovely reproductions, and mixed them in with some thrifted mens shirts. It might not show in the pictures, but most broken dishes blocks have a variety of fabrics to give them a scrappy and more random look.
The colors makes me think of dark chocolate! There might be some snacking on chocolate and coffee drinking this weekend, as I would like to put this top together...

It is lovely! So warm and inviting for a good afternoon on the couch with a book--and dark chocolate. I especially love the plaid setting triangles around the edges.
It's really yummy. I like how the pinwheels spin when set on point.
really lovely and warm
Anything that reminds me of chocolate goes into the 'good' category. This is going to be lovely.
Chocolate and coffee - a perfect pair! Take care, Byrd
Absolutely dark chocolate! Looks wonderful and very welcome change for the autumn! x Teje
Very nice! I like the bit of blue that you have added.
So beautiful and classic. Shirts are great and brown is always a favourite. Love it! Have fun with your chocolate!

Dark chocolate indeed! This looks as yummy as dark chocolate tastes! So warm and cozy looking. And I love your Broken Dishes blocks, so scrappy and fun. Wonderful! I too especially love those plaid setting triangles!
Hi, Marit. Discovered your blog through Nifty when she talked about your visit--how very fun! Browns are so interesting to work with as they can be very warm or cool down. Lovely quilt here.
