The fabrics are silk douppioni. Three colors are used: red, green, and gold, with a range of values in those colors. It is quilted with three decorative stitches on my sewing machine: feather blanket, and serpentine. It was my first silk project. I learned how important grainline is for cutting silk strips, after my first block dissolved into a puddle of threads.
