what if #83: quilting with fringe

Silk_fringe Silk_fringe_folded ...i have started using fringe as an edge treatment in my new quilt.  the fringe is recycled from old silk scarves.  some of it is rather sparse so i was wondering what if(?) i double it up before inserting it under the applique. Fringe_insert folding it so that is offset gives it more fullness. Silk_fringe_combined and if you have two, it can be multi-colored... hmmm... what if (?) you use 3 or 4?

you could then intertwine fringes from block to block across the background and create a lace effect.
