CQ Detail 134
Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 7:40AM
The Detail:
This is the first detail on block 20. The seam is first covered in herringbone stitch worked in perle 8 thread. I then laced it with chenille thread. A line of back stitch was worked in perle thread over the top. The arrows were worked using straight stitches in perle thread.
This seam runs along the edge of piece 5.
The back story:
This seam is a detail on a crazy quilt called “I dropped the Button box”. The article is part of a series documenting all the detail on the quilt blocks. They appear every second day, on this blog.
Information about this series of articles and the quilt can be found here and all articles in the series are categorised under Crazy Quilt details
Links to the crazy quilt blocks covered so far are, block 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 , 18, 19 and 20

I had not thought of running something through the herringbone stitch. I bet it would look pretty with ribbon too. I am always looking for ways to to use the chenille I have:)
