You can use buttons on quilts for kids if you sew them on with dental floss instead of thread.

I use lots of things to embellish if it adds to the quilt.. I completed a quilt in April for which I made my own fringe out of beads and real shells from the beach! I'm posting two photos Leftovers... is red white and black... and I used 7 buttons on it.... six in the border, and one (red cardinal) on a tree branch. The second quilt I used buttons in the handles of the baskets as an embellishment. Hope these give you ideas.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I wish I could show these to the people I've been talking to.

Thanks for posting :thumbup:

I think they work well in the right quilt. I love the posted ones. Great job.
