That IS beautiful--I can see why you want to use it. But as a
theatrical costumer (community, low-budget!), I'd go Victorian with
it (and think I'd gone to heaven)....

A persian coat might work. It is a fairly thick comforter it

again as a bedspread and thought I could put it to use.
Well thank you for the ideas, and if anyone thinks of anything
else by all
means please share

Can you remove the quilting without leaving marks or permanent
stitch
holes?
With satin, you are looking more at Renaissance fudging then
Medieval,
especially shiny satin. Your also looking at winter attire with this
satin
as it does not breath. Plus you should not make anything out of
it that
you
will want to wear around a fire.
If you are in SCA or similar group and if you have a coat of arms
the
has
green in it you could use the satin for heraldic display stuff.
Though it would not be material of the 1300s and 1400s, you could
make a
sideless surcoat. Could use it for a cloak lining. Or you could
make a
Florentine giornea and/or gammurra

I've already used the sheets to make a simple
kirtle. My problem is that I'm not exactly sure what to make out
of it.
Not only is it satin, but its quilted in sort of a strange way, I
cannot
find pictures and I would take one, but an aquaintance has my
camera at
the
moment. The quilting is all symmetrical, in straight lines, but
intead
of
being noral quiltingit has some of it sticking up on some of the
seams,
I'm
not really sure how to perscribe it. I have a comforter, pillow
cases
and
curtains. Preferably the clothing I would creat out of it would
be in a
medieval style. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.....Thank
you.....
