crazy quilt detail using braid

Seam decoration on crazy quilt block:

This seam is to be found on crazy quilt block 51 of the I Dropped the Button Box Quilt.

I first covered the seam with some hand dyed commercial gimp braid.  I then edged it with a variety of fly stitch worked in hand dyed cotton thread. The stitch is tied with a detached chain instead of a straight stich and I added seed beads to the middle of each detached chain stitch.

This regularly published series aims to illustrate and document the hand embroidered seams, embellishments and decorations on my crazy quilt I dropped the button box.

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.
