I have pondered this before. Somehow it feels kind of undone, but the top is covered by pillows. Then I think about it again and I think it seems perfectly natural (that is the top of the quilt). Most of my bed quilts seem to be almost square. I have considered that it would solve my problem of "which way does it go" as others have mentioned. Maybe one day I will give it a whirl, I am open to it!
