Purple Silk!

I was visiting the midwest a few years ago and went to a quilt shop with a blogger friend.  And there it was, on the wall.  A gorgeous purple silk quilt sample.  all shiny and purple!  I had to have the kit!  HAD TO!  and it was very reasonably priced!  The blocks are very simple.  In fact, i admit to getting board with the piecing and put it off for a while.  also, sewing with silk is very slippery work, so this is not the best example for piecing.  But who cares.  IT'S PURPLE SILK!!!!!!

I just ordered a purple silk/cotton blend for the backing and bamboo/silk blend batting.  I think this will have to be rather heavily quilted or it will tear easily if used.  And this is one I want to use.  wrap up in the silky luxurious goodness!  Squee!!!
