Would the silks still ravel if you use a thin type heat and bond? Someone on this board was saying that there is a thinner, lighter adhesive that is out now. I can't remember what the name of it was.
Just my opinion, but wouldn't this quilt work out better as a wall-hanging rather that a throw quilt? It would be easier to see and you wouldn't have to worry about cleaning it so much, and the threat of unraveling the countries would be almost not existent. And who want to unravel a country? LOL
