I love these button club themes. There are multiple size buttons and then the hand crafted speciality ones. This year's club had the word buttons as well.

*** TIPS ***

Be sure to leave enough space between the rainbow hoops to cut them out. This is how I spaced them out on the Heat n Bond lite.

Another tip this time is to fuse and let the quilting hold down the applique. 

I love this for small projects where you can do some heavier quilting over the applique.

Layout the order you like

It's fun to be creative with a patchwork block. I'm using a recent blocks from my Block Wednesday sew along.

My Daily video today where I chat about the button club

Here are some ideas for a block:

• Use as a single block decorated hang on the wall or make a bit mug rug
• Make 4 blocks for a table mat
• Make 8 blocks 2 x 4 for a table runner.

**** Button Club be well Buttons *** 

It is so fun to design a project for the Fat Quarter Shop's Button Club. I like to have the buttons sit on my desk for awhile. That lets me find a fabric or a inspiration to start the pattern.  The setup buttons I really love the Buffalo flat fabric and I was seeing the plaid as a spool of thread.
