    I have wanted to quilt a duvet cover. I know sounds strange but I want the warmth from a duvet and the look of a quilt. This technique would be an easy way to attach blocks to a duvet cover or to make a duvet cover with blocks.

    really intriguing concept.
    My problem is: I have tons of poly/cotton battings.
    Has anyone pressed seams using a "not-cotton" batting?
    I wonder how thick it would be and if it would show through. Hers looks great.
    I didn't buy 100% battings, bc I don't particularly want the crinkled look. I like smooth.
    It is a blessing, to be a blessing !

    I only have poly/cotton battings too. I think you could put a pressing cloth over the seams then press and it would be ok.
