To clarify - the image is not my actual quilt, but an image I found on line... Mine is done with dark blue background and various batiks... It is not fully assembled yet but I hope to get that part done soon. Once the flimsy is ready, I will post a picture of mine.
Thank you to everyone that gave an opinion... I think I will use silk. It will be a treasured bed quilt (vs wall hanging). It will be heavy also, as there are so many pieces...
