Look at my avatar. That is a silk quilt made with silk dupioni fat quarters and bordered with silk taffeta left from making my DDIL's wedding gown. The batting is silk/bamboo batting, and backed with silk velvet. Dupioni is very ravelly and difficult to sew unless you have lots of experience with it. I have made wedding gowns so this was not new to me. PM me if you want more detail on it.
