I have questions and when I posted photos in the photos section here, some folks pointed out some issues I had not taken into consideration.
Here are my questions:
Should I use a wool batting and muslin backer? That was my initial thought and several folks said yes.
I saw online a wool that has polyester in it. "Wool thermally bonded with low-melt polyester."
What do you recommend? What are the pros and cons?
I thought thinner rather than thicker . . .
The silk pieces are sewed to muslin as I pieced the quilt.
More than one person questioned how I was going to use the quilt and warned that it could fall apart - I know silk can do that.
Once I layer it, I had intended to tie it rather than add any quilting.
Any thoughts on that?
How do I tie it? With embroidery floss? (I have plenty.) How many strands?
I also considered adding more embroidery but think I have done enough . . .
What should I do to help hold it together? The squares are about 9.5 inches square.
I expect it will lie on my daughter’s bed (she is away at school) and not really be used very much.
Anything else I should take into consideration? Or avoid? Or absolutely do?
Thanks for the help of those more experienced at this!!
