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 , 26 and 27

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.
