Default Not sure if I can use this for a quilt....

First of all, don't go on Pinterest. It's the devil in disguise.... You've been warned

I found a quilt someone had done in the Game of Thrones theme/pattern. My son is insanely in love with this series and I thought....sure....I could copy that. (shoot me here right now, please)....

Going online I found a fabric map of the medieval area which they used for the middle of the quilt. So I'm thinking, so far so good, right?

Then....AFTER I purchased it, I realized it said "silk". Now...I've had silk shirts which I considered "silk", and silk clothing which was closer to cotton. I have no idea what I will receive when the slow boat from China docks with my map.

So here's my question. If it is "silk" and thin and/or slippery, is there something I can use to strengthen/solidify it for quilting?

I wasn't sure if stabilizer like I use for my embroidery machine would work? Or interfacing? Will it be too thick?

Sigh.....best intentions, and all that, right?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
