    I made this quilt in 1986. Hand quilted, all silky fabrics! The original 3-stitches per inch! :P

    It is queen size. I used it for years and every morning the bedspread would be on the floor!! All the little spokes on the fans are embroidered. I knew nothing about quilting. I saw the picture of it in a magazine, and loved it, so 1 1/2 years later it was done.

    then 3 stitches per inch was all it needed, right? for silky fabric it held up beautifully. very nice work.
