Default Japanese kimono silk

I have seen it used in some of the kaffe fassett quilts and it is stunning.

Hello,
Some of you may know I've been helping out with my friend Keiko's
triplets for nearly a year now. Keiko often has live-in helpers from
Japan who stay for 6 months or so, helping with the day-to-day routine
of living with 3 babies, while I come along in the evenings to help
with the dinner/bath/bedtime routine.
One of Keiko's friends has sent me some kimono silk, after
discovering I like to sew! I have two pieces of salmon/pink with red
and white flowers, one of lavender/white with pink and red flowers and
one red with white and taupe flowers. I have no idea what to make
with silk! Akiko also sent a book of Japanese fashion sewing, with
pictures of bags, hats and a cute little stuffed cat. I did have the
idea of making a little cat out of the pink silk and sending it back
to say, "Thank you!"
I need ideas of what to do with this silk, to do it justice.

When working with silk, remember that it unravels something dreadful.
I use iron on stabilizer when using it in quilts.
