Introducing block 11 on the "I dropped the button box" quilt

Time to introduce block 11 as placed on this grid. The block actually found itself set sideways by accident in the I dropped the Button Box quilt but to be honest no one has ever noticed (or they are too polite to say)

Once again I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so. As you can see there are 7 pieces of fabric in it.

For those who are interested in taking a class with me. My next class Encrusted Crazy Quilting starts September 24th.

Encrusted Crazy Quilting offers students the opportunity to learn how to piece, develop and heavily hand embellish a crazy quilt block with hand embroidery, beading and exploring different embellishing techniques while solving design, composition and colour issues. This class is suitable for beginners to intermediate crazy quilters.

Follow the links to read class descriptions and I have described how classes work if you are curious.
