Luminary

 The Luminary quilt pattern by Alison Glass was a challenge for me to do in silk. I decided to buy some Radiance fabric to dye. It is made of 55% cotton and 45% silk so no interfacing is needed to stabilize it. But it still shimmers like crazy.


The fabric took the dye colors quite well if they were blended enough. I did have some powdery dots on some portions that I had to avoid.




The difference quilting makes is huge with silk.


I rolled this up with a wrinkle, but it ironed out before I shipped it out to the buyer. I love the idea of hanging this in any direction. There is no right or wrong way.


Here it is in my home before it sold.
