CQ Detail 59

Buttons
As you can see CQ detail 59 is a cluster of buttons. All of them are modern with the exception of the smallest metal button which is vintage. The Butterfly is also technically a button.
Actually I have just noticed that the photograph I used to illustrate the block when I introduced shows fewer buttons. It must have been taken when I had finished the block but not pieced the quilt. When I pieced the quilt I must have added some more buttons yet I can not remember doing it. Check out the post if you want to see what I mean
Placement and Foundation Fabric:
This cluster covers the seam between piece 6 and pieces 1, 2 and 5 on the diagram I used when I introduced block 8. In the same article I also talked about the foundation fabrics.
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
On another note: Just a quick reminder for those who are interested in taking a class with me. Introduction to Silk Ribbon Embroidery is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2009 and Studio Journals: A Designer’s Workhorse is scheduled to begin on June 11, 2009. Follow the links to read class descriptions and I have described how classes work if you are curious.
