The Detail: 

This is seam was first covered with a cheap nylon lace which had been hand dyed with disperse dyes. Next I added some plastic beads. In thread which was lamp shade fringing that I pulled apart and dyed with disperse dyes I worked a detached chain stitch with two straight stitches either side.

Placement on block:

On block 19 this lace runs along the edge of piece 5

The back story:

This article is part of a series documenting the quilt blocks in my crazy quilt called “I dropped the Button box”. Every second day, on this blog  I discuss part of a block.

Information about this series of articles and the quilt can be found here and all articles in the series are categorised under Crazy Quilt details

Links to the crazy quilt blocks covered so far are, block 1,  2,  3,   4,  5,  6 , 7,  8,  9,  10,  11,  12,  13,  14,  15,  16,  17 , 18 and 19
