When I started the series about each detail on the “I dropped the button box” quilt, I numbered the blocks on this grid. The same post shows the whole quilt too.
What is the story?
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. All articles are categorised in the projects under Crazy Quilt details which enables readers to browse back through the series.
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.

I’m so glad you’re showing these again. This series was the first I saw after I finally got a computer and almost learned to use it. I was in my latest crazy quilt phase, and had no idea after all these years what was going on "out there" – and stumbled upon yours and then Allie Aller. How fortunate I was!! A whole new world opened up for me, and marvelous inspiration for my needlepoint design..
