Introducing block 43 on the I Dropped the Button Box crazy quilt

block 43

This is block 43 of the I dropped the button box quilt. This crazy quilt block is in pinkish tones. One thing most people notice about it is that it has the corner of an embroidered serviette on it.

Over the next few weeks I will focus on each seam and embellishment and I hope you will enjoy the series.
