Strip piecing and creative trimming make the Broken Herringbone a simple block to construct. Make as many of the 12″ blocks as you need to achieve the size quilt you want.

The block looks great in many color combinations. Lorna, of Sew Fresh Quilts chose a lovely combination of cool pastels framed in green.
