CQ Detail 57
Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 7:00AM
Stitches:
This is a tiny seam embellished with Cretan stitch then further decorated with detached chain stitch and French knots. It is about an inch or two long so easily missed when looking at the block.
Thread:
A hand dyed mercerised cotton (crochet thread) and stranded cotton floss.
Placement and Foundation Fabric:
This seam is between piece 1, 2 and piece 3. You will find the diagram in the article I wrote when I introduced block 8. In the same article I also talked about the foundation fabrics I used.
Dyes:
Procion cold water dyes for the thread
The back story
This crazy quilt block is part of my “I dropped the Button box” quilt. I am documenting this crazy quilt detail by detail, every second day. You will find information about this series of articles and the quilt here and all articles in the series are categorised under Crazy Quilt details
