Next step = hand quilting. I am going to use a silk batting that I've been saving for some special reason. I'm still a little iffy on what design I'm going to use in the very center. I've been reading up on silk batting, and am not sure if I'll get the same shrinkage texture as with cotton. (They both claim 5% shrink). Anyone with experience w/ silk batting? I'm open to advice.

Love it! I've just finished a quilt with silk batting and find it works very well and drapes beautifully too. But I haven't washed the quilt yet, so I don't know about the shrinkage.
this is just lovely! how big is the whole thing? sorry I've neve rtried silk batting.
It's stunning! I haven't used silk wadding (never even seen it for sale) but I think Cathi@Quilt Obsession has used it...
Beautiful!
I love it! Your applique is stunning.
I think the scrap border does add texture. I really like it - I've never thought about doing a scrappy monochrome border! But this inspires me!
Love the applique and the border just compliments the center piece. Wonderful work.
Wow your top is gorgeous I loved the way you used those blocks to make it your very own creation, love it.

WOW, please email me a pic of this contact@estheraliu.com so I can share it in a post on my blog - it deserves it's own post - it's fabulous!
What have you done with these blocks?? You've made it your own, I love the design and the colours just sing! Beautiful!
The scrappy on this is wonderful! It shimmers with the leaves in a really nice way. I just love the bird. :)
