Turn those triangles in different directions and the pattern suddenly takes on the appearance of pieces of crockery scattered across the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAlthough the name \u003cem\u003eBroken Dishes\u003c\/em\u003e is familiar today, the design itself is considerably older. Quilt-history research traces this basic four-triangle arrangement back to the \u003cstrong\u003elate 18th century\u003c\/strong\u003e, with examples of the design appearing in American quiltmaking traditions around the \u003cstrong\u003e1780s–1790s\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003e🍽️ Did You Know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe interesting part is that \u003cstrong\u003ethe design is older than the name we commonly use for it today\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eQuilt historian Barbara Brackman's research notes that the four-triangle unit has a long history and appeared under different names and arrangements. The name \u003cstrong\u003eBroken Dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e became associated with the design much later, including its use by quilt designer and historian \u003cstrong\u003eRuby McKim\u003c\/strong\u003e when discussing quilt patterns in the 20th century. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAnd the pattern certainly didn't disappear.
