I used silks and lame fabric for a sparkle. I don't know how to quilt the border. What would you use for marking quilting lines on this, I think chalk will brush right off. I need to really be able to see it!
I am not an experienced quilter by any means and am not familiar with this pattern, however, the block shown looks like Lady Liberty's crown. Maybe you could quilt the statue of liberty or parts of the statue in the border.
