Patchwork Duvet Cover

blues and greens themed patchwork duvet cover

Jane hiding behind the patchwork duvet she made for her granddaughter Miaow, using up all the scraps of cotton we have accumulated over the years. We don’t really do patchwork cottons we generally stick to patterns that work better for dressmaking so getting these prints to work together was a challenge, but Jane did a grand job (and there’s another one for the eldest grandchild Kitcat, too.

Because of the bulk of seams Jane backed the patchwork with a light cotton muslin (just to keep the fraying contained), and then the duvet is backed with a brushed cotton sheet.

you can find lots of quilting weight cottons around here: http://www.stonefabrics.co.uk/product-tag/quilting/
