Crazy for Crazy
quilt.
I rummaged through my stash and pulled out fabric and thread in the colours of sweet potato and roast chestnut. Autumn has set in in Tokyo - we take a step into the new season with every typhoon - so the colours reflect some of the seasonal culinary delights.
Although most of the threads will be in the same shades as the fabric, for the trimmings I have picked out some ric-rac, metallic braid and a piece of vintage braid. These will accent the little bit of turquoise from the Indian brocade.
I am still wondering how I will 'dress' the two buttons.
In different light the colours look a bit different....
but I HAVE got started on the piecing.

Interesting colours. I have seen these type of silk. They are called banarasi brocade. looking forward to see the progress of this block.
Great choices, 'sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts'!
I like your contrasting embellishments too, fun.
