Maybe quilted blanket?

I mad something a few years ago that defied definition - I liked the fabric of a Ikea light weight duvet cover so much I decided to make a ?? out of it - took it apart, drew the threads to square it, put the very most lightweight bat I could find in the middle, picked apart and squared another plain muslin duvet cover for backing and folded the printed fabric over muslin in a kind of envelope, basted the lot. THEN because it shifted so much I couldn't machine quilt it!! So I'm still at the hand hand quilting!! I made it with a very tall person in mind - it took ages to get the envelope perfectly square and it's taking ages to quilt - am just outlining the print. Its quite simple and cute, very light for a medium cool summer night. I decided it isn't quite a quilt but too much of a quilt to be just a coverlet, so I call it a 'quiltlet', Anyhow, it feels great, all pure cotton, even the thread.
