I have done a silk quilt. It turned out beautifully. My advice is to use a lightweight fusible interfacing. I have received so many compliments on it. I love it. I loved working with the feeling of the fabric. My intention was to hand quilt it.. but too many quilt tops .. too little time. Just got it back today from the quilter. She liked working with it also.. just advised interfacing. I did not think to use it when I made mine.
