I've been admiring the Dorset Buttons that Queenie is making and adding to her crazy quilt project. You can see the block she is working on this week here. Last night I decided to give it a try. Using a one inch plastic ring and varigated DMC perle #5 in color 4060, I made this.

Very pretty Pamela.
Be aware, this can become an addictive activity!
Your first button in far better than my first try was. On Pinterest there are lots of ideas, but you will come up with your own, too, I am sure.
Congrats on ur button - button making is on my bucket list....
Hi Pamela i love your dorset button,especially the colour of your thread,well done my friend xx
Very pretty. I’d love to try this soon too!
The button looks great.
Fascinating! I've never come across Dorset buttons before.
I love Dorset buttons - have been making them for years. Yours is great. Have you found pictures of posy buttons? xx
Lovely Dorset button Pamela, I made some a couple of years ago but didn´t really know what to do with them as they have to be quite large to see the stitching. Good idea about using them on a crazy quilt blocks.
Nice work, Pamela.
Queenie's projects are inspiring aren't they?
Nice job! I have a project that requires some. Need to get back to it some day.
I like your Dorset Button. I always admire them, but wonder what to do with them. I'm such a Left Brain thinker.

It may be a beginner button but it is a very nice beginner button.
A very creative technique, Pamela. And you can use such buttons for so many things to embellish.
This looks like something fun to make
That's awesome! Who knew you could make such awesome buttons yourself? At least I didn't haha
