Introducing block 27 on the "I dropped the button box" quilt
Friday, April 30, 2010 at 6:00AM ;)
I am so pleased to be introducing block 27 because by the end I think block 26 was making me wince a little too much. As I said when I introduced block 26 I used many fabrics not often used in crazy quilting. Me and my “you can use anything you like” philosophy nearly got me into trouble with that one!
Block 27 is still a little brash but much better than its neighbour.
Fabric content:
Piece 1: Synthetic
Piece 2: Velvet
Piece 3: Chinese Silk Brocade
Piece 4: Cotton
Piece 5: Cotton
Piece 6: Silk
Piece 7: Synthetic after five dress fabric
Piece 8: Cotton covered with lace
Item Count:
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: 8
Lace, braid and ribbon: 5
Buttons and charms: 11
Total items on this block: 24
Total tally of items on the quilt so far 536
The back story:
This is part of a series documenting the seam embroidery and embellishments on the crazy quilt blocks in my "I dropped the button box" quilt.
If you want to track back through the series all articles in the series are categorised under Crazy Quilt details
Links to the blocks written about so far are, block 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26
Just as a reminder here is the quilt. When I started the series about each detail on the “I dropped the button box” quilt, I numbered the blocks on this grid. The same post shows the whole quilt too.
