Quilters collect fabrics, books, patterns, and also buttons. But how can you use your button stashes to jazz up your quilts? This team of sisters, inspired by their grandmother's button collection, offers ideas for adding flair, whimsy, and fun to quilts with a bounty of buttons. 12 bursting-with-buttons projects feature wall, lap, and bed quilts, all inspired by childhood memories. Find ways to use most any button in a quilt, from vintage Bakelite buttons to fabric, metal, glass, pearl, and ceramic buttons.

Learn more about buttons from The Button Box, a tip-box feature that shares how to collect, apply, and craft your own buttons.
