I made a quilt with buttons on it a few years ago. Quilted in the ditch and sewed the buttons in the corners. Loved it. Put it on the guest bed and my Rat Terrier (Sadie) enjoyed eating the buttons the first night. Replaced the buttons, closed the door until the first guest came. That happened to be my daughter and Sadie LOVES her so she slept with her and again, dined on the buttons. Oh well. You'd think that would be a lessoned learned but the quilt is back on the guest bed, and the door is shut for the time being, smile.
