Your experience and suggestions would be appreciated.
I want to make a quilt for a returning soldier, a friends nephew. The friend wants me to make a medallion type quilt with the attached Marine Flag in the center. It measures 3' X 5'. Now my problem, the flag itself is a unsubstantial polyester somewhat similar to what you find in garment linings. I want to do several things; reinforce the fabric in the flag and in the process give it a better "hand", I would like to do some Trapunto on the large shapes and ultimately quilt the whole flag. This will be a bed size quilt so it will have regular rounds outside the flag that will bring it up to size. Keeping these three goals in mind can you give be suggestions and tips about how I can get the best results?
