i too am making african print quilts. i had a coupla of friends bring me fabric back from ghana and nigeria plus i have ordered african print fabrics from the new york wholesale shops. never thought of the wooden buttons to enhance the quilts. i have plenty of vintage buttons but not wooden ones. i will keep on the lookout now.

Years ago I was into making "chunky" African Jewelry and I accummulated a whooooooole lot of wooden buttons in all sizes and earthy colors. Ran across them recently and pulled them out because I see a use for them in a line of African Quilts I'm working on now.
Use those buttons girl, just not on baby quilts:>)
