Crazy quilt button decoration:
This button on block 38 is a vintage button Jerry (my husband) found at a French market while he was on a business trip.
Normally I wont split a set but I have 4 of these and I used one on this quilt. It is quite a large button and was probably meant to be used on a jacket or a coat.
Thread:
The green cotton is Perle cotton #5
