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.

If you want to see the set of this quilt there is a photograph of the full quilt on the CQ details FAQ page and in that you can see the set of the quilt and what I am chattering on about.

Articles are categorised under Crazy Quilt details which enables readers to browse back through the series and read about not only the blocks in the quilt but the decorative seam embroidery on the quilt.
