WIPW - A Finished Block

It has been a productive week, and here is my Work In Progress Wednesday report.

Crazy for Crazy

I finished the light teal/peach block.
I cut the red dyed canvas into a ribbon and attached it to the block with Cross Stitch.
I fastened two metal rings with Buttonhole Stitch in variegated Perle #12.
I used a pleated ribbon to make a circle.
Inside the circle I placed a button that I had covered with a Ribbed Wheel. A tutorial for this technique can be found at Kate Davies Designs.
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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      The ribbon was from Mum's stash so it holds memories in its folds!

      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'.

    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.
