I pieced another block for the McHenry Landmark Crazy Quilt but I haven't started stitching on it yet. Instead, I felt like playing with some glittery beads and sequins. I wish the sparkle showed up better!
You might remember, I started a Trinket Quilt a few years ago. I had all sorts of little things that I've been saving all my life and thought it would be a nice way to display them.
The little Bluebird on this block is a Mill Hill beaded pin that I made for my aunt years ago. After she passed away, my cousin gave back to me the things that I made for my aunt. So I have more of those little Mill Hill pins to include on this quilt.
These blocks are 6 inches square. I have no idea how many blocks there will be because I have a lot of things to use.
Many of the blocks can be seen in my book Crazy Quilt Inspiration.
When I have a some time, I'll put a JPEG together with all the blocks I have so far. I think there's 40 something now.
What a wonderful way to display all of your magical, glittery trinkets. I look forward to following along and seeing the progress.
