Nice new fabric...

Hello guys,

I've treated myself this week and bought some fabric.

Ok, I say fabric... I mean I bought two duvets at my favourite everything's £1 charity shop :)

The first is a simple brown and cream block reversible duvet.
I've been looking for a decent cream fabric for ages to use as a backing
for my quilt that I started forever and a day ago :)



The second is an adorable pink single quilt with 2 stripes of
a different pattern at the bottom.


You can see the stripe pattern here. Isn't it lovely?



Here is a close up. I have ideas for this fabric already.



A lovely surprise when I got home and opened it out, is that the front 
and back are different! So I could make two of whatever it is I make :)



A strange thing about this duvet cover is what had been hand stitched at the bottom. It's just a little rectangle of white cotton. I think it might have been like a bed pelmet/bed skirt?



Any ideas?

Mysterious buttons...

I'm hoping you guys can help me.

For years, I've had these lovely buttons. No idea what to use them for, but I just love them. I'm pretty sure they're Japanese, but I wondered if anyone could tell me more about them. 






Please help if you know anything about the buttons, or what I could use them for!
