Hi,
I'm finally getting around to posting this little quilt completed for Project Quilting Season 16-6.
The theme for this challenge was "Buttoned up". I often add buttons to my smaller projects, so I decided to add some pearl buttons to this quilt, from Challenge weeks, 16-5 (follow your arrow) and 16-2 (ombre).
It has been fun letting this little quilt evolve.
I have retitled it: "Under the Sea".

It reminds me of some simplified Modern Art (Chagall's mobiles a bit, for example).
Some of the small pearl buttons are from a Muscatine button factory, and were given to me by one of my Aunts. I have been using them occasionally in many projects. I used Tula Pink Aurifil thread for the quilting and stitching along the appliqued triangles. The fabric is some I hand painted recently. I'm planning to paint some more fabric this year to create a nice stash. I have lots of fabric paints to play with! It always finds its way into my creations.
I'll post more about fabric painting later!
Hope you enjoyed this little post - get your buttons out and play and embellish with them!
Many Blessings to you,
Denise A. Buchwalter-Losczyk
