Thanks to Empire State Quilters BOM ! I present this charming way to use our buttons. The blocks are 3" with a 1" border. 16 or 20
will make an interesting art hanging. I backed my center blocks with a layer of muslin and played with my buttons all morning!Enjoy...

Show us your buttons!

I use clusters of buttons in crazy quilting. I have many family buttons that won't get used though. They are mounted and in archival sleeves.

What a great idea. A friend of mine from work has save all the "extra" buttons you get with clothing and want me to make a quilt/wall hanging with these. Your idea will be perfect. Thanks so much for sharing
