Christmas Buttons

I pulled these embroidery machine appliqued blocks out of the RFO box and pieced them together. the applique blocks are on green striped cotton. the red and gold fabrics are flannel. they seemed to play nice together.



The jester has buttons on his collar and on his hat. the snowman is holding jingle bells on his rope.


Santa has buttons on his beard. i might have to put a jingle bell on the end of his hat. the one that is on there is embroidered. the snowman is selling button snowballs.


Stocking has buttons on top and toe. house has buttons on roofline.


The tree has tiny buttons of different colored shapes. And the snowflake has snowflake buttons.


I originally cut the gold flannel snowflake fabric incorrectly for the border. so pieced a bunch of green pieces together for a small second border and then added more gold flannel fabric on the outside. now i have used basically all of this fabric. the binding will be the green stripe.


It is going into the to-be-quilted cabinet. perhaps it will be done by next Christmas. i know it won't be done...

tomorrow
