Quilters

Are there any quilters here? My wedding dress has been sitting in a rubber maid tub for 16 years. I saw where you can turn your dress into a quilt and I want to do that, if it's not mouse eaten, I should look.

So, I guess this is me asking if anyone quilts well enough to turn my wedding dress into a quilt or not and what you'd charge.

Do you have a picture of the dress? What is the materials? Silk? Polyester? Lace? The white or ivory color says bridal but if you dye it, you have more options for refashioning.

It is lace, but a thick lace. I'll get a picture. I would like to keep it white. It has a nice fruit punch stain/memory and a rip from where I got caught on a nail and yeah, those are memories I'd like to have on the quilt.

I see. It sounds like guipure lace to me. That kind of fabric is expensive and elegant. I am no quilter but I imagine a satin pillow with embroidered lace motif as accent will bring out the beauty of it.

I was going to take pics last weekend but got the flu. So I'll get pics when I can!

Ok so here it is

Doubled all my pics for some reason. Posting on my crappy phone.

So it's 100% that lace. It's lined with satin. Yeah, that's it. Possible???

Wow, that's one massive dress and yards of fabrics. Besides quilt, how about cafe/kitchen curtain? Girl's bed skirt? Make her look like a princess! Or a pencil skirt, a white lace skirt goes with lots of things in summer.
