crazy quilt block detail

Stitches:

This seam is embellished with a line of buttonhole stitch. I then added some detached chain stitches and some straight stitches before adding the disk shaped beads.

Thread:

DMC perle thread #5.

Placement and Foundation Fabric:

This seam is between piece 7 and pieces 2 and 6 on the diagram of block 11. In the same post I wrote about the fabrics I used on the block.

Beads:

the round disk beads are held on with some seed beads.
