I used to make formal gowns for my wife, and she really liked the look of sequins. Almost every pattern I used had me take the sequins off the seam line of the garment, sew the seams together, then replace the sequins for a more finished look. It was tedious, but well worth the effort, I think. I don't know that I would take the time now. There are far too many quilt patterns that are wanting to be made!
