Introducing block 10 on the “I dropped the button box” quilt

This morning I am introducing block 10  in the I dropped the Button Box quilt. I hope people will enjoy seeing it in more detail over the next week or so.

Fabric content:

It is actually quite a simple block as you can see there are only 6 pieces of fabric in it

• Piece 1: Velvet
• Piece 2: Polyester /cotton mix from a blouse.
• Piece 3: Open weave linen
• Piece 4: Polyester from a costuming fabric scrap
• Piece 5: Polyester Satin
• Piece 6: Corduroy

Item Count:

As I have explained before this quilt is a Y2K quilt which is made up of 2001 different elements. My definition of an element was either a different fabric, lace, braid, charm, buttons or ribbon. So far this is the count of items on the blocks so far.

• Fabric: 6
• Lace, braid and ribbon: 3
• Buttons: 6
• Charms: 3
• Total items on this block: 18
• Total tally on Quilt so far 193
