    Cool Walking Labyrinth - Truly a labor of LOVE

    OMG has this been a labor of love - making this as the top of the duvet cover for my son (age 23). I consider myself a novice quilt top maker, I have never taken quilting classes and like to make unusual quilts or those of my own design. This quilt took a LONG time to make and you really need to measure, measure, measure!

    I ended up cutting the fabric as I went along and measured after every seam joining. It is really easy to put things together backwards or upside down but I don't think I did too bad....

    I have that pattern squirreled away for when I get up the nerve to try it. Your quilt top/ duvet cover turned out awesome!
