If it hasn't already been suggested--check out the book "Dazzling Quilt: Easy Glitz and Instant Glamour" by Pamela Mosteck. I bought it from Martingale and Co. There are examples of and instructions for some wonderful quilts with beads and crystals. I haven't used it yet, but I bought some bags of Swarovski crystals and the applicator wand. Hope you post a picture when it's done!
