Hello All, For my next project I would love to make a quilt for my Mom. She had a stroke last year so now sleeps on a single bed downstairs in the house, as she is now in a wheelchair. Anyway, I'm thinking a quilt may not be the most practical thing for her as she spends a lot of time in bed and it would get dirty quickly and need to be washed a lot. So I was thinking of doing a patchwork duvet cover, has anyone ever done one of these? I am wondering if a patchwork quilt style top would be sturdy enough as the top of a duvet cover on its own without being quilted? Or maybe I could 'quilt' it to some backing but without any batting inside? Would that work? Does anyone have any ideas, tips or advice? Thanks
