The entire quilt "sandwich" is covered with a layer of polyester organza, pinned and stitched with free machine quilting using rayon thread. A few beads were individually hand-stitched in place. Then several layers, including the heaviest double-sided Pellon fusible interfacing, heavyweight interfacing to back the fusible, a waterproof nylon fabric (to make it table safe if used under a vase) and cotton duck backing were all bound together with machine stitched, custom-made bias tape.
