...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. 
folding it so that is offset gives it more fullness. 
and if you have two, it can be multi-colored... hmmm... what if (?) you use 3 or 4?
i had some SILK scarf ends, with the fringe still attached. i was wondering if i could recycle these and create a quilt binding/edge treatment that includes the original fringe intact.
i like the idea of a fringe edge on a quilt. this fringe is hand twisted, nice, but a little far apart.
the silk is very sheer so i folded it over itself a few times on the front side and then left a larger border on the back. since the silk is so thin, it cooperates easily on the corners and allows itself to be stuffed and prodded into shape with seemingly no bulk.
i am new at working with silk and i am just playing
the front and back.
