Foundation Piecing
#51
I have lots of the "fabric" that bed ruffles are attached to. It is not cotton, but is rather some sort of polyester that has little tiny holes in it. I know one would not use this as backing, but I wonder if it would not work great as foundation for piecing.
I wouldn't think the melting in a fire would be an issue as it would be inside the quilt, and the quilt would have to burn first before the fire got to the foundation fabric. What are your opinions on this, foundation piecers? I haven't done any yet but do hope to try it this year.

I also love crazy quilts. I have an old one my grandmother made. My mother and I are in the process of making on with silks as I just love the shiny - ness of them. My mom loves to embroider so ours has all the fancy hand stitching on it. Makes it slow going but it is turning out beautiful. Will post pic of first section that is done soon as I can find the darn charger for my camera.
