Why would you quilt the top of a duvet cover with no lining and no batting?
If you were to press all the seams open, you could topstitch (echo quilt) each block as you made it to seal the seam allowances and then just do the joining seams when the top is finished. It would probably also protect the seams from raveling in the future washings. You could even do the 'quilting' from the backside to make sure you catch all the loose bits. Then there would be no need for any lining at all (less fabric, less work).
A nylon zipper closure at the botton would be quick, easy, and practical for a cover like this one.
