    Default hope you get to do your silk quilt!

I was thinking about going with cotton backing, but maybe springing for silk batting and thread but don't know if I need to. Thanks for including us in your project, I loved seeing the process!
    I supplied the batting and backing for the quilt. I believe the long armer used a cotton thread. I used silk thread when piecing the quilt. I was able to get the tread at JoAnns when the thread was on sale. The backing material was a cotton, as well as the batting. I used white cotton muslin as the foundation when sewing the blocks. The backing and foundation materials were pre-washed.

    I really hope you get to make your quilt. It was a great experience for me. I loved each and every block! Let me know if you when you start ... please post pictures too.

    Didn't make it to Candy Dance this year. Maybe next year. I worked on the quilt and one for my sister.

    Great quilt, I bet you didn't get bored with the blocks. The pillows are cute too.
