Why not do your favorite quilt blocks using different
"silver/grey" fabrics. With Christmas around the corner I would think you could find many to choose from. I guess what I'm thinking is like a Plaque or trophy plate you might win for some sporting event. Perhaps a like you bronze baby shoes to keep, but in this you would have "silver'd" your quilt to keep it! Good luck what ever you do and be sure to share pictures with us!
