A completion...

The August Color Palette/Crazy Quilt Journal/Bead Journal; Project Challenge:

The color palette can be found here: http://www.patchworktimes.com/2012/08/01/august-color-palette-challenge/. The grid I used was block 59 of the " dropped the Button Box CQ" over at Pin Tangle: http://pintangle.com/2012/07/07/introducing-block-59-of-the-i-dropped-the-button-box-quilt/  Because of the stars in the red fabric lower right, I decided to use stars elsewhere on this block --- and luckily I have LOTS of star-shaped buttons so... I experimented with a button cluster, a la Kitty and Me: http://kittyandmedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/04/tutorial-how-to-make-button-clusters.html to cover up a very long seam and acute angle as defined by shawkl: http://www.shawkl.com/2012/07/bcq-tutorial-dealing-with-long-seams.html
