The "Button Box" block is a real treat for those of us who like to collect buttons, beads, charms, pins, hooks, lace, and all the other little thingys that we expect to have a use for someday. Well, that day has arrived! What a curiousity quilt this will be for one lucky participant!
.
The block is simple. Start by cutting a 3" square for the center. Then cut some 1" strips for the borders. (Finished sizes will be a little smaller than 3" and 1") Sew two borders onto your center square. Apply embellishments. How to tie everyone's blocks together? Include something red!

See you in September!
Great idea!! Definitely a terrific way to use up those buttons.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think I see the makings of an AAQI Priority Quilt here. With your permission, of course!
