Crazy for Crazy
I finished the light teal/peach block.
I fastened two metal rings with Buttonhole Stitch in variegated Perle #12.
I used a pleated ribbon to make a circle.
I used Stem Stitch to outline the plum blossom design on the upholstery fabric in the middle of the block.
I made another Dorset Button.
I put the black bias tape on the edge.

Love your block it makes me smile!
Very pretty. How big is this all together? I came across a number of crazy-quilt books the other day when I was looking for something else. They made me think of you.
Charming! a good colour combination and variety of textures.
Thank you. I enjoyed working on it, and will soon start a new one. Cq is addictive!
The block is about 7" across (17cm). I find it a good size, each seam is so short I never get bored, but can move on to the next area.
I like the colours too, and was lucky enough to have a a mix of texture and pattern, as well as different tread in the right colour.
great colours! lovely details, on the whole a beautiful cq block.Your blocks are addictive!
Fun use of pleated ribbon and the button is beautiful in the middle.
I also like the lattice stitch with the sequen flowers edged in buttonhole
stitch.
Nice finish.
So many ideas, it’s really pretty!

Thank you, I got many ideas from Sharon Boggon's book that I am using as a base, 'The visual Guide to Crazy Quilting Design'.
The ribbon was from Mum's stash so it holds memories in its folds!
Thank you. Yes, cq is addictive!
Very nice - I love all the details!
Thanks, it is fun to think up new ways to embellish the blocks. I have good use of Sharon's book, of course!
So many things to admire on the hexagon. I like how you left part of the threads unwound on the Dorset button.a
I love everything.
I have checked a lot of buttons on the web and Pinterest. There are SO many variations!
I love your use of hand stitched buttons
and I love making these hand stitched buttons. More will feature in future blocks, be sure of it!
