Good research Butterflywing! There really isn't much new under the sun is there? Just plenty of updating and improvement!

when you pull out the bottom for sleepovers, you remove the front skirt. when you remake the bed, you put the skirt back on. that's what the velcro is for.

i did that 100 years ago with a hi-riser (anyone remember those?) it had matching wedge-shaped pillows and then matching pillows, stuffed with the guest pillows, which we took out for company. it was so small that no one else used that room. only a hi-riser and a small dresser fit there. when the bed was open you had to crawl over it to open the window. no closet. sweet.

I made one, but just made it to go over just the mattress. I put velcro on the metal frame - the heavy duty self stick and put a pleated skirt on it. It has been there for about 5 years with no problem.

these aren't instructions, but pictures. you would have to make your own measurements.

to see more, google 't-shaped quilt instructions'. i didn't actually find instructions, but i did find pictures.

OMG you are awesome! that makes total sense and I can do that and just put the binding around the whole thing after. thanks so much I'm so glad I asked!!!!!
