There are a couple of quilts that every diehard traditional quilter wants to make, but for me the top three have always been a silk crazy (crashed and burned on that last year), a bed-size wholecloth (no patchwork; just two large pieces of cloth + batting that are stitched together), and a completely hand-stitched double wedding ring (I collect them, and I've restored several, but I've never made one on my own.)
Since my ability to hand stitch anything is fading fast I've had to adjust my expectations. But I still have enough dexterity to quilt, so I bid on this lap size hand-stitched double wedding ring on eBay, and I won it.
I love the colors, and it's small enough for me to handle the work, so this will be my summer art quilting project.

So many possibilities with this one! Love the colors and I'm not a green person. And don't beat yourself up about the silk crazy. As you've found by now, silk is incredibly hard for even the most experienced quilter. You should pick it up again in your 'spare time' (hah) and give it another go since you've worked with silk since then :)
