The duvet cover I'm making for DD and her SO. Took me forever to figure how I wanted to put the colors together and then I free-motion stitched it all onto a backing for more stability and I still have to attach the back to make it a huge envelope. I'll be so glad when it's done so I can move on to another project.

Love all the bright colors! What a great way to show off batiks! Good job! :thumbup:
|
Very pretty. Reminds me of a beautiful sunset over the Carribean! I can see how it took a lot of work to plan the colors for the overall effect. Great job.
|
Beautiful :thumbup:
|
Your duvet cover is fantastic. I love the fabrics you chose, so vibrant. I think your DD will absolutely LOVE it, making all of your hard work worthwhile. :P :P :P
|
Wow-that is really pretty. I love your fabric choices and the pattern works perfectly with them. Just love it-thanks for posting the pic-I see something else to add to my list of want-to-do's!!!
|
They've been to the caribbean 3 times so I hope it reminds them of that. That's what I thought of as I was piecing it together.
|
love it
|
Very nice.
|
WOW soooooooo beautiful you did a great job on in. I absolutely love it. :thumbup:
|
Beautiful. I'm sure they will love it.
|
That's beautiful! Maybe I'm really dense but it never ocurred to me that I could piece a duvet cover - what a great idea! Was the backing you FMQd it to just regular weight cotton?
|
Your use of color placement in this is fantastic! Beautiful!
|
Those colors are too purdy for words.
|
Very pretty and you did a great job. Thanks for posting.
|
Beautiful. I admire your color sense.

That is absolutely beautiful. I see some of the batiks I have in there. What a great way to use them. You inspired me.

I see a ray of sunshine among the rainy day blues. It turned out gorgeous and love your fabs!! :D :D
|
It glows.
|
Lovely!! Thanks for showing it...I've been thinking of making a duvet cover, and now I am inspired by you to do it!! Thanks!!
|
This is absolutely gorgeous, I also would never have thought of making a duvet cover with patchwork pieces. What a great idea.
|
Beautiful! Love all the batiks!
|
Just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it with us! I always need ideas and inspiration! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Wow. I am generally not a fan of batiks but this is totally gorgeous. I love how you laid out the blocks into a sunburst. It's stunning!
|
How pretty and cheer ful wonderful color choice. You did an all around good job
|
Sew beautiful and I've been to the Caribbean twice (third time next month) and that's what I thought it looked like as soon as I saw it! GORGEOUS!!!!
|
That's an awesome duvet cover...I love the batiks
|
Wow, it's gorgeous! I have one side of a duvet cover pieced but not sewn together. That happened last Fall, and it got put on the back burner until a quilt I have a deadline for, gets finished. Right now it's in a large ziploc bag. Someday, when I decide on the pattern for the other side, it get's pieced, then sewn into the duvet, mine will be done. But it won't be as bright as yours. Nicely almost done!

It happened about the time thread counts went through the roof. They stopped making percale-weave sheets and charged more more more for 300 - 600 count Egyptian cotton, like no one ever had a good night's sleep on 260 count percale. Don't get me started. |
WOW that is what i would name this awesome quilt
I love it Gloria |
cande, This is gorgeous. I love batiks, also. It's an easy pattern to show off the colors. Eiltcoq.

You list this as your location: south east ND. 60 miles from MN and 25 from SD
I'm originally from Oakes. That's got to be near you? |
It is gorgeous and very pretty, your DD will love it. She will be wanting to wake up just to look at it.
