Beautiful fabric and love the pattern you chose for it! Bite the bullet girl and then let us see the results. You will definately enjot it more when you can see and use it in your home, as it was intended when you bought it.
I should talk...I bought embroidered silk when we were in China, 39 meters worth, altogether, in different colors and patterns. This was in 2000....so far I have made up one piece of it....I have it stored in acid free tissue paper in a cedar chest that DH built me for my sewing room for my really good fabrics...I have been a garment sewer since I was 11. Maybe what I need to do is make a quilt from all this silk one day...in my spare time....LOL
