I am getting ready to start on a silk quilt ("Silk Tempest"). Yours is an inspiration. Hope mine turns out half as beautiful.
Thanks for posting.

Wow, what a treasure!

Wow, beautiful.

It frays a lot. I used dupioni which is fairly slick. Bias wasn't a problem, but next time I will cut a wider seam allowance on the straight grains. It frayed as fast as I could sew it. The problem with silk is that you can't use steam or a hot iron and must iron from the back. Fusible doesn't adhere very well without a fair amount of heat. I used fusible on the bias velvet, but it kept coming unfused. It just takes a lot of patience. I also used silk thread and a fine needle. All of the wedding gowns I have made have been silk, love working with it, but it takes patience. You also can't pin because it leaves marks. No mistakes allowed.

Awesome!!!!!

It is beautiful and she will treasure it for sure! You did a wonderful job! :)
