Today I am introducing block 20, on this grid, of the “I dropped the button box” quilt. 

This block  has a bit of theatre theme because when Eve was younger (before she became a circus performer) she was very active in the theatre both front of house and back stage. To be honest I forget how many productions she has been involved in but I know in her late teens over a 2 year period there was 54 productions.  I felt this deserved a block on the quilt!

As you can see  this block consists of 8 pieces of fabric

Fabric content:

Piece 1: Velvet.

Piece 2: Devore.  

Piece 3: Velvet from Eves graduation dress

Piece 4: Silk

Piece 5: Satin

Piece 6: Lycra covered with lace 

Piece 7: Polyester covered with lace

Item Count: 

As I have explained before this quilt is a Y2K quilt which is made up of 2001 different elements. By element I mean either a different fabric, lace, braid, charm, buttons or ribbon. This count is an ongoing count of items and pieces in the quilt blocks documented so far.

Fabric: 7

Lace, braid and ribbon: 4

Buttons: 4

Charms: 5

Total items on this block: 20

Total tally on Quilt so far 394
