Second new hobby: Dorset buttons. I saw a video on Quilting Arts TV show and then watched a few YouTube videos and think I am hooked! The first one I made is on the left. I fudged the outside by doing a single crochet around the ring. The second one I made, I did it as it is supposed to be made and the outside ring took a good 45 minutes. There are so many variations to these buttons, see below.

Crystal Blue
The name of this quilt is Crystal Blue. I finished it in August after having pieced it several years ago mainly because I began quilting it with a long arm but the back got all tangled and I had to take out all the stitches. Finally quilted it with my regular machine. The quilting is free motion feathers.
