Introducing block 9 on the "I dropped the button box" quilt

I would like to introduce block 9 (placed on this grid ) in the I dropped the Button Box quilt. I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so.

A little information about this block follows.

Fabric content:

Piece 1: Polyester Satin

Piece 2: Polyester.

Piece 3: Velvet costuming scrap

Piece 4: Polyester which was a scrap from the cutting room of a local fashion label 

Piece 5: Cotton covered with lace

Piece 6: Polyester which was a scrap from the cutting room of a local fashion label 

Piece 7: Silk second hand after 5 gown that was dyed

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 of items on the blocks so far. 

Fabric: 7

Lace and ribbon: 5

Buttons: 5

Charms:1  

Total items on this block:  18

Total tally on Quilt so far 175

If you have just landed on this page via search engine this is a crazy quilt block which is part of my “I dropped the Button box” quilt. I am documenting this crazy quilt detail by detail, and posting about it on this blog every second day. You will find information about this series of articles and the quilt here.  

If you are looking for the series you will find it under the category of Crazy Quilt  details.

Links to the blocks covered so far are, block 1, 2, 34, 5, 6, 7, and 8

Sorry but I think you have mixed up the numbers 4 and 5 on your crazy patchwork piece. Might make it a bit hard for those new to the assembly process. Nice design though!
