My Button Quilt Hanging on Etsy
One of the items I currently have for sale on Etsy is this miniature whole cloth quilt hanging with vintage fabric-covered buttons. I made this when I was working as an associate editor at Krause/F+W Media. We needed some additional projects for the book Busy With Buttons by Jill Gorski. I created three projects and wrote up the directions; all three were included under my byline in the book.
This project is a fun, simple way to use any kind of button; it's especially nice to feature fabric-covered buttons from old dresses. The material and pattern of the fabric can be unusual, and it provides an authentic record of fabrics of the past.
