A former business associate closed his furniture store down. He had box after box of drapery and furniture fabric samples. He give me so much silk that it took 2 men to lift the bag into my car. Some pieces are pretty large. There are gorgeous colors and designs. Most are approximately the same thickness. These fabrics were between $40 to $80 a yard. Many are embroidered with palm trees, seashells, etc. Would I be able to use silk in a quilt? I just don't have a clue!
