Looks kind of funky, but how would you quilt it with the buttons on it?

Why not quilt it first and then put the buttons on afterwards? Or use the buttons as part of the quilting. They can anchor the material just like regular stitches could.

What a neat idea? I would probably quilt beforehand and then sew on the buttons. Awesome way to display those vintage buttons.
