I have made crazy quilts from after five and prom dresses. The very delicate chiffons were fused to medium Heat N Bond to make them stable. The dresses I used already had a lot of beading and embroidery on them and I incorporated that into my quilts and then when completed I added other decorations such as buttons, lace pieces, charms, etc. I also used almost all of the decorative stitches on my machine on each seam line because I don't do hand embroidery. I have a small memory quilt picture posted on Pictures and will add more pics when my daughter and I figure out why we can't add any more.
