I saw a quilt in a quilt shop that has since gone out of business before selling me the pattern they were going to make up - quilt was made of different squares/rectangles of men's suiting fabric interspersed with decorator fabric, some with a shine, some with a texture. It didn't have batting but the back was a kind of nubby fabric. She quilted it with decorative stitches in different colored threads down the middle or to the sides of some of the blocks. For one rectangular block she would quilt down it's length with one color thread and one stitch. Then for square, another placement and another color thread and another stitch. It was really beautiful. Someone gave me some men's suiting fabric samples and I have been collecting remnants of decorator fabric and that is on my list. I will experiment with how to join the blocks. My plan would be to have it dry cleaned because it probably won't get much use down here!!
