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
Here is the list so far: 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 , 27 , 28 and 29
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.
