I have seen show quilts with rhinstones on them and they were beautiful. I say to each his own, I don't go for the rhinstones personally but many do. Do what makes you happy.

How about using metalic threads and making french knots? That will keep it soft and add sparkle.

go for bling. I've got some on a small wall hanging. It is only a modern step on from buttons isn't it?

I have a friend who added crystals to a quilt and it was just beautiful. Maybe lay it out and place some on it first to see what you think. I guess you have to be careful not to overdo it.

I did one quilt block then used glitter fabric paint. Lasts and washes well. Added just enough sparkle.

I love that idea. Go for the bling. I would and you gave me a great idea.

I say go for it too. I love bling bling. I wouldn't say use them if it was to be used but since it's not....just do it!! LOL
