Silks are very delicate fabrics - and do not hold up well for bed quilts that get a lot of use. If this is for a "PRETTY" that will not be heavily used, I would suggest using a permanent stabilizer, like PRESTO (which I use to back all of my machine embroidery) which is fusible, and still very soft.....it adds strength without removing the draping quality of the silk. It is not inexpensive - but if you can find a supplier on line ( I get mine by the bolt @ Wilson's Quilt shop in Hagerstown MD) you can save some $$.
