I would like to introduce block 8 (placed on this grid ) in the I dropped the Button Box quilt which you can see in this gallery. I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so.

Fabric content:

How I managed a small block like this with 9 pieces of fabric on it I am not sure but I did! It was of course in order to help make the number of  2001 elements

Piece 1: Silk from a second hand op shop find

Piece 2: Polyester from a blouse.

Piece 3: Polyester costuming scrap

Piece 4: Polyester from a blouse

Piece 5: Polyester

Piece 6: Polyester Satin

Piece 7: Velvet

Item Count: 

As I have explained before this quilt is a Y2K quilt which is made up of 2001 different elements. My definition of an element was either a different fabric, lace, braid, charm, buttons or ribbon. So far this is the count 

Fabric: 7

Lace and braid: 3

Buttons: 4

Total items on this block:  14

Total tally on Quilt so far 154
