Is this right, or is there a better way to do it-say, construct it like a duvet cover, or even like a pillow and then "stuff" it with batting or stuffing? The top and bottom are not pieced, just one length of fabric each. Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance
on the 4th side you only need to leave an opeining of 15-18"-----------maybe a bit more if your sandwich is really thick.

And it can be tacked, rather than quilted. Distance determined by the bat manufacturer. I do 6" quite often
