I have had three girl as foreign exchange student in my home. They all got excited when they seen my quilts. They all made quilts to take home with them. In fact the last girl sent me a box of fabric from there. They are all silks. I just love them, and have not used them yet. I was thinking pillows. One father sent me a Thai quilt. It was one layer and heavy embroidery. I actually would call it a throw.
