This is the second "button tidal wave" that will result after cutting up the antique coverlet. Though part of me hesitated when taking the scissors to this old material, I had such a wonderful time layering buttons that I couldn't wait to start the second one. I did have to sort through more of my button collection but I had fun doing that too!
I know that the third button tidal wave will feature light brown and tan buttons. I know this because I'm already working on it! The final wave, however, is still undecided. It could be black buttons but I think that won't have the desired contrast with the dark, navy blue coverlet. It could easily be off white and white buttons because I have more of these than any other sort of button ... but what would the outline be? Questions! Questions! These ideas keep my mind occupied while my fingers attach buttons!

I find these 'Tidal Wave' pieces so fascinating. Like so many, I have a button "collection"...but (also, probably like many) really don't like sewing on buttons! Thus I'm admiring not only your creativity but also your tenacity!
