Introducing block 32 of the I Dropped the Button Box crazy quilt

Block 32 is a little bit of a favourite with me. I like the colour scheme because is not so predicable. Also across the bottom I have couched a novelty thread and the seam treatment is a little more free form.  I hope you will enjoy the focus on each detail over the next few weeks.

  1. I love this block too, especially piece 4 with the little squirrel on it. I can’t tell from the picture is it embelished from something printed on the fabric or your own design? I also love the flowers stitched on piece 5 of this block. They look like little daffodils.
