Advice on fabric
My husband and I got married four years ago this April. I bought a beautiful dress for the wedding, but since it's my second, I planned to sell it, but I've had no takers (my daughter from my first marriage would have no interest in it, and she's about as thin as a rail; I am not!). Now I'm thinking about doing a quilt using some of the fabric from the dress, but I'm not sure what type of fabric I should use with it. The dress is made of a duchess type satin in cream and ivory; my idea is to make a quilt using our wedding colors (beachy colors) mixed in with pieces from the dress. But I'm not sure if I should use satin here, and if I do, is there something I should do to the fabric before sewing it together? I don't think cotton would look right ...
Any suggestions here?
