I love the buttons.

Love the buttons, and the "binding" you chose is perfect!
|
I love the buttons.
|
Love the buttons. Makes it pop. Also love how you finished your edge!!!!
|
With. They make it look complete. The shine on the buttons makes the rest of the quilt pop. Very nice!
|
With the buttons is my vote-it seems to add a little finish. Very nice.
|
For sure the one with buttons!
|
Love the buttons. They give another whole design element.
|
That is beautiful! I like it with the buttons too, but either way is great. LOVE your edging!
|
Buttons, buttons, buttons Your quilt is AWESOME. Love the edging
|
Great idea for "hiding" not so perfect intersections, but yours ARE perfect. I like the look of the buttons just because.
|
I'm torn. I like the sparkle of the buttons,but I agree with PaperPrincess - the style of the buttons doesn't work with the elegant feel of the rest of the quilt. I also don't like that they hide your perfectly matched points. Maybe if you want that little bit of sparkly, get dark red shank-style pearl buttons, and put them in the middle of the background squares? Then they don't hide your beautiful work. Or switch to a more elegant button at the intersections. If you go with buttons at the intersections, I do like how the colour of the current ones matches the cream fabric, and would stick with that colour.

I like the buttons but they might be a problem if you are going to be setting things on it.
|
Buttons and lace, the perfect combination.
|
Buttons! Have you tried another color of button??
|
Love the buttons

I was surprised, I thought the buttons would detract but not so. Love the buttons!

I am also in the minority, I don't like the buttons. They distract my eye from all the other wonderful things that are going on in this quilt. Additionally the elegant beaded trim work you put on combined with the rich fabric choices give an air of formality to this that is diminished by the homeyness of the buttons. The buttons are an embellishment I would expect to see in something of the country/primitive genre of decorative pieces and with your color choices, the nature of the Cathedral Windows block and that gorgeous pearl bead trim I think Victorian formality.
If you want to put something in the center points of those CW units I suggest finding another type of bead or a large pearl type embellishment instead of a button. Something that compliments that gorgeous finished edge and allows the viewer to take in the piece as a whole. As another poster pointed out, with the buttons, that is all my eye is drawn to and didn't notice the other details as readily as I did in the photo without. To my eye, the buttons, while very cute, seem to fight with the rest of the quilt. JMHO. |
At first glance I thought buttons for sure. Then I read the other comments and think I like it without the buttons or with something smaller or something that blends a little more and does not detract from all the wonderful piecing and stitching that you have done. I think the idea of a pearl bead is nice.

With! I like that you used all the same light colored buttons. They don't detract from the quilt; instead they add the finishing touch.
Part of what appeals to me is what feline fanatic objected to. She called it "the country/primitive genre" mixed with "Victorian formality." I decorate my house with these types of mixed styles too. :) I figured out how to attach the buttons with my sewing machine for the first time on this sample. Woo Hoo! That is a hugh accomplishment for me. I'm really happy with how this turned out. I'm going to hang it on the wall and start on the larger version now. |
Love the buttons.

Normally, I dislike buttons on a quilt, but those buttons look fantastic.

Another vote for with. That is lovely!

Like the buttons! Also like the lacy edging you added instead of binding.

Without...your work is beautiful and some may think you are hiding an imperfection with the button. This is too, too pretty!
|
No doubt....with buttons. :)
