I'm working on the one patch on my crazy quilt tote that worried me. The foundation is hand dyed habotai silk, which is so thin and fragile it's like a ghost fabric. It moves if you breathe on it, and it can tear with one wrong move of the needle. Despite all that I love this fabric; nothing else has such a lustrous sheen to it.
I kept the quilting simple, and taped down the fabric as I did the starburst stitching in lavender holographic Sulky. Now I'm adding a lace fan applique and some beading on top of it. So far so good.
