I had 2 tie quilts commissioned from me. I did a quilt as you go log cabin. I used polyester shantung for the light part of the "cabin". I choose quilt as you go because I did not want to have to deal with quilting the silky stuff. They were so pretty. If you aren't familiar with quilt as you go yet, you can google it. Reminds me I don' t have pics of them. I need to fix that.
