Duvet Done

The no name duvet, 60x80" unquilted, pillowcased and on the bed.

Not much in the way of planning. I just cut strips, and some triangles and squares and sewed them together and onto foundation panels. Two a day was the limit to my attention span.

I was surprised to see the layout of triangles when I placed it on the bed. Kinda nice pattern, for an accident.
I didn't put the quilt inside yet, as the house is a bit too warm yet for such a heavy bed topper. I slept with just the empty duvet and was quite warm all night. Now I plan on making some sort of pillow cover with the same strips. Must have the entire ensemble.
I am greatly relieved that I don't have to quilt this thing. It weighs quite a lot with the lining, the foundation panels and all those strips. And I am lazy.

  3. The back is just plain, hand dyed fabric that happened to be big enough to fit without having to piece it. Yawn. I need a nap.

  4. Ooh Mrs. Mel! I love it, and can only imagine the colourful and happy dreams anyone sleeping under this duvet would have.
    Did you put a zipper in the bottom of it? Or buttons? It's fabulous!
