Introducing block 13 of the "I dropped the button box" quilt

It is time to move on to block 13, on this grid, of the “I dropped the button box” quilt. 

I know many people enjoy monotone crazy quilt blocks and I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so. As you can see there are 6 pieces of fabric in it. Although it has only 6 pieces of fabric there are quite a few buttons. Count them you will see what I mean.

 

Fabric content:

Piece 1: After five evening wear synthetic with a gold metallic weave in it 

Piece 2: Silk from an after 5 dress.

Piece 3: Satin  

Piece 4: Silk

Piece 5: lace over a synthetic after five fabric 

Piece 6: lace over a synthetic after five fabric

Online Crazy Quilting Classes:

Just a quick reminder for those who are interested in taking a class with me, Encrusted Crazy Quilting starts September 24th and Create a Personal Library of Stitches starts October 6th.

For those thinking about taking this class these workshops are structured with an emphasis on design. This means that the content of courses have much more depth and is different from what is already published in my blog.

Follow the links to read class descriptions and I have described  how classes work if you have not taken an online course before.
