Have read what there is here & will be watching for others.
Thank you everyone.
Thought you might like to see a better pic of the silk quilt I made. This shows the sheen of the silks, the 2nd pic is the velvet back. I made my own template for the twister. I bound it with bias velvet interfaced and hand stitched to the back.
Is that Duponi Silk?
Yes, it is all Dupioni Silk, some of it irridescent. The white border is the silk taffeta left from the wedding gown I made for my DDIL 20 years ago. There are 51 different colors in it. It is the most sumptious feeling thing you have ever felt!
