Wow! Thank you all so much for the great tips! Even though I have an idea in my head, my quilts sometimes take off in a different direction once I start them. This will likely end up being somewhere between an I Spy type quilt with each block being a differnt color or texture and a crazy quilt where they all just merge and blend at random. From all your suggestions I will: use wide seams, back the satin with muslin, prewash all fabric, use satin blanket binding, incorporate ribbon into the design, and top stitch everything! (That will give me a good opportunity to use my decorative stitches on my machine!) Thank you all sooooo much!
