I don't know how sturdy it is to use on a bed quilt, though. But the thread comes in different sizes, so a heavier weight should do the trick, it just needs a bigger needle so it won't fray.

Can see why it took your eye. Can't really help you with the shiny thread. I have some variegated slightly shiny thread that I'm about to use. Hopefully I will have no problems with it.

Make sure you get the needle for Metallic thread to keep the fraying frustration at the minimum. I liked the look, it was for a Christmas quilt, and the flowers sparkle under the light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-66997055249060092852010-04-30T18:06:19.287-05:002010-04-30T18:06:19.287-05:00love the quilt. very pretty. cutelove the quilt. very pretty. cuteFresh Poppy Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108660062967677664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-91363004448759960092010-04-30T17:41:53.959-05:002010-04-30T17:41:53.959-05:00That's a very eye-catching quilt, Sarah!

I've never quilted with shiny thread myself, but when I was at Nancy's Notions dropping off my Little Dresses this week, I was looking at a quilt on display that has used really pretty shiny thread. Her quilting was meticulous, and the shiny thread really drew your eye to it.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-54867987673895670792010-04-30T16:51:25.721-05:002010-04-30T16:51:25.721-05:00HA!

I think there's some sort of feng shui going on here. It seems quite peaceful.<br /><br />I once hand-quilted with gold thread. Really liked the look, but it did have a tendency to unravel. The gold was wrapped around an inner core of white filaments. Not sure if they're all made this way or not.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-69667908735831011502010-04-30T15:48:42.969-05:002010-04-30T15:48:42.969-05:00I really love Ashley's quilt too - that's ...I really love Ashley's quilt too - that's so cool that you made your own version!
