I've always worried that using a fusible stabilizer would react to the silk long term. I use silk with my cq, but have been afraid to use it.
Yes, I agree with crazy quilting. Judith Montano has several books on the projects. Large and small projects. Combine it with silk ribbon and make family members keepsakes.

But if you go looking for any of her books, she is Judith Montano Baker. (might make a difference in the search).
I'm just plain lazy -- I use the 1/2" seam and skip the extra step. :)
If you don't want to go the crazy quilt route, but prefer a more organized look, you might try "Silk Quilts" by Hanne Vibeke DeKoning-Stapel. All sorts of information on using silk for traditional patchwork patterns.
