Alex Anderson made this gorgeous silk quilt:

I'd love to make a silk quilt someday. I saw a gorgeous antique quilt (I believe it lives in Bill Volckening's collection) that I think would be fun to interpret in silk. It was made of diamonds that were maybe 1.5" long from tip to tip. The seams were embroidered in a crazy-quilt style. Several diamonds were made up into larger diamonds that were bordered in black fabric. The result was a simple but stunning quilt.
