Placement and Foundation Fabric:
This button is placed on piece 3 on the diagram used when I introduced block 3. At the same time I also talked about the foundation fabrics I used.
Button
The button is a vintage hand carved shell button. It is pearlescent so when it shifts the colours move from musk pink to grey. It really is quite lovely in life but not under the lens of a camera.

Free Crazy quilt block patterns
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.
