This detail is a crochet medallion that I dyed and attached to the block. I then beaded it.
Placement and Foundation Fabric:
This is in the bottom right hand corner of the block. You can see the diagram in the post I wrote to introduce block 10. In the same article I also talked about the foundation fabrics I used.

In the process of documenting the seam decorations on this quilt, as I get to each block I am diagramming it out for readers as a free crazy quilt pattern. Links to these free pattern pages are listed on the CQ details FAQ page.

I love the crochet medallion, it’s a wonderful star shape and the colour is gorgeous.
Sharon I love this!! I have a bunch of old crocheted motifs I made years ago that I’ve been wanting to use. I’m going to try dyeing them using kool-aid 🙂
