Has anyone made a silk quilt?
There's a store in my region where all fabric is $2.99 per yard. You never know what they're going to get and, if you see something you like, you'd better snap it up - and be sure you get enough because there's a good chance it will be gone if you return for that extra yard. They got a big delivery of silks recently and I bought a lot, figuring I won't see silk for $3 a yard again anytime soon.
Anyway, I'm thinking that silk would make a luxurious quilt and wondered if anyone here has made one and had tips about its construction. Is cotton batting best or should I look for wool or silk? I know silk is not as durable as cotton, particularly regarding abrasion but since this would be a luxury quilt it's meant to be enjoyed until it gives up the ghost. (But then, isn't everything?)
