I'm doing a quilt for my sister in law. it is all Silk scarves that belonged to her grandmother. I used the Serger for all the peicing and am slowly doing minimal quilting on it just to make sure it is all ok. I wasn't allowed to wash any of the scarves, so it smells like Cigarettes and perm solution so I can only do a little at a time. I bought silk batting for it at Pachucah so everything is silk in it.
