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!!!
