Mixed weight fabric quilt suggestions
#13
If you use muslin squares as a base for crazy quilting, they should be fine. The very lightweight fabrics I would apply iron-on interfacing to before cutting, just to add durability. If you plan on washing the quilt, wash fabrics first to prevent uneven shrinkage. I use mesh lingerie bags if I think anything will unravel too much - learned the hard way on that.
With all the beautiful shiny threads out now, it could be stunning. Be sure to post a picture so we can oooh and ah!

It must be the times my son also had a midevil wedding Oct 28. He loves halloween she likes midevil times so it worked out perfect. Any way back to the point I also did the clothing for the wedding. Have loads of scrapes I just stuck away, never thought of doing a quilt with them. What an awesome anniversery present it would make.

Loved the way you can get away with being over-the-top on the medieval clothes - we'll have to exchange pictures when we're done.
The guys wore kilts, but don't think they'll let me have a snippet....6 yards of 60-inch wide fabric and they won't share....meanies. :-)

hi, i did many quilts with different quality of silks and also i used my kids old t shirts in the backing. i learned the hard way, as they stretched in all direction and buckeled up at the seams. so now i use the lightest iron on stabalizer; sometimes the one which can be ironed on both side and use a light muslim on the other side. hope it works for you too and good luck

The crazy quilt is still a pipe dream. You will appreciate that right now my sewing room has "exploded" with baby quilt stuff for our soldiers to send home to their new babies. I donate them through Any Soldier although there are other organizations that do the same thing.
