Button delema
I have finished this little topper from the Red Button Quilt Company. It came with the most adorable snowman buttons that were to be sewn on like a hanging ornament. There is a problem however, I went to sew on these buttons (there are 12 - 3 each side) and they stand proud of the quilt and do not lay flat - or even close. The shank on the button is way to long.
So here are the options that I have kicked around.....
1 - Cut off the shank and glue them on (anyone done this?)
2- Make a small button hole and put the shank into it and sew the button to the back of the quilt (actually tried this on a scrap I trimmed off the edge of another quilt. Might work...)
3- OR .... Get some other ideas from you wonderful ladies!!
I have included a few pic - What do you all think??
