I'm surprised they can be machine washed.<br />Have fun with the girls!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957476662384686092.post-52064198232886263902013-08-02T07:29:15.118-07:002013-08-02T07:29:15.118-07:00Beautiful quilt, love that you are mixing fabrics,...Beautiful quilt, love that you are mixing fabrics, something I haven't played with yet. I've quilted three quilts for customers that used silk in their borders. They used a light weight permanent stabilizer or interfacing. It adds a little bit of stiffness but kept it from fraying or pulling out of the seams. <br /><br />Enjoy the mountains and company. How wonderful for you all!

The silk matka ...I love how this quilt turned out!<br /><br />The silk matka was a gorgeous choice. Did you consider running Fray check along the outside edges?<br />As long as the fabric is oversized there are no washing issues as the edges it will be cut off just before sewing the finish.<br /><br />Enjoy your time in the mountains with the girls!Aunt 'Reenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204447436613555757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957476662384686092.post-28372730382927092912013-08-01T15:42:50.826-07:002013-08-01T15:42:50.826-07:00Loved that song and the movie Yankee Dootle Dandy....Loved that song and the movie Yankee Dootle Dandy.BillieBee (billiemick)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12962933031675452865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957476662384686092.post-15375971024900389372013-08-01T15:33:59.681-07:002013-08-01T15:33:59.681-07:00It's beautiful!

I wrote an article on The Quilt Basket in Tucson, AZ, for Quilt Sampler mag, and the shop owner really loves working with it and told me she carried a nice selection of it. Wish I lived closer so I could check out her shop in person.Heirlooms by Ashton Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949132555589853690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957476662384686092.post-86993115665283432282013-08-01T14:42:46.980-07:002013-08-01T14:42:46.980-07:00Very nice, love the flagsVery nice, love the flagsSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325491573830960291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957476662384686092.post-82602440221449330652013-08-01T14:27:20.499-07:002013-08-01T14:27:20.499-07:00It is really wonderful!
