Since this was originally an old post, I wonder if it showed/ribboned anywhere. It is truly very intensely quilted. Which brings the question of why two batts when 90% is flattened out. I would think one would have sufficed, but I have never used two batts--have done some trapunto, but not the entire quilt. Also, is the longevity of silk thread as good as cotton or poly.....just questions that popped up when I looked at pic.
