Stitches:
This detail is a variation of feather stitch which is many crazy quilters favourite. The ends of the spines have been decorated with beads.
Thread:
I received this thread in a swap and I don’t know what it is but it is a thread that is braided rather than twisted.
Placement:
This seam is between piece 3 and piece 4 on block 2
