Today I am introducing block 19, on this grid, of the “I dropped the button box” quilt. 

As you can see  this block consists of 7 pieces. Some of the fabric used in this block are  a bit different as they are not normally included in crazy quilting blocks. I have seen loads of crazy quilters reject fabrics like Lycra for instance. 

There is a tradition among crazy quilters that says a spider and her web brings good luck. The tradition dates back to the Victorian era. So this block has a spider and web. 

Fabric content:

Piece 1: Velvet.

Piece 2: Cotton.  

Piece 3: Metallic after five fabric

Piece 4: Lycra 

Piece 5: Silk

Piece 6: Cotton synthetic brocade 

Piece 7: Velveteen 

Item Count: 

As I have explained before this quilt is a Y2K quilt which is made up of 2001 different elements. By element I mean either a different fabric, lace, braid, charm, buttons or ribbon. This count is an ongoing count of items and pieces in the quilt blocks documented so far.

Fabric: 7

Lace, braid and ribbon: 2

Buttons: 10

Charms: 2

Total items on this block: 21

Total tally on Quilt so far 374
