    Suggestions for using different silks

    When living in Singapore, I bought all kinds of fabrics but with making garments, not quilts, in mind. Now I have a stash of silks: Chinese, Thai, Japanese, saris, silk organza, raw silk, brocades, etc. I really have no use for these fabrics as garments but they are sooooooooo beautiful.

    Any suggestions on how to incorporate these fabrics into my quilts? Any designers who use these fabrics? Books?

    Why not try a crazy quilt. I can see it being spectacular. You might want to use a very light stablizer to give a little body. I'm kind of green with envy!!!

      One of my friends made a "Turning 20" quilt using silks. Just make sure you take your time and seal the seams so the seams do not unravel. Otherwise, eventually you will have a pile of thread.
