Also have any of you ever used the silk with cotton. Grann of 6 used silk velvet on the back. I wonder if the velvet could be used in piecing on the front.

Just brainstorming here.
I recently made a quilt using fabrics from my mom's stash. I estimate that some dated back to the 30's. Each block had an appliqued flower in it. Since some of the fabrics were very loosely woven I backed each flower with Pellon SF101. It is a very light weight, woven interfacing. I use this a lot on bags and things like that. I bought it at Joanns. Check it out and see if something like this would work.
