Button Detail

It has been a treat seeing all the quilts and checking out the vendors. I had quickly posted on Facebook a fun find from preview night, but I thought ou might like a closer look.

This button quilt was made by Susan Bianchi - Saratoga, CA, and she calls it Red SunFlower.

It is quite stricking and well. executed and brings to mind the button blankets of the Pacific NW Native Americans.

Enjoy your closer look!

  4. I have a rather large button collection which was started after I received my grandmother's old button jar. There are some lovelies among them. The funny thing is, I hate sewing buttons, but I do love to sort... bone buttons in one jar, shell buttons in another, etc. The colors and texture in Susan's quilt are delightful!
