Thank you everyone for your ideas. My inspiration was from http://www.agapethreads.com/ - very talented young lady! Here is the finished Duvet for my sweet little hippie in NC. It is made completely out of different leveled cords...

Beautiful and very original.

SO pretty!

Tree really stands out without the ring - the black would have been distracting IMHO. Never would have thought to use corduroy ~ very nice!

Beautiful quilt. I love your tree!! You did a great job.

You made a great job of it, and I like it better without the ring too.

Lovely quilt.

Beautiful quilt.

Beautiful. The colors of the rest of the quilt really set off the tree.

Very pretty!

Beautiful! I was wondering what a quilt made with the cords would look like. Every time I pass them in JoAnns it makes me wonder. Thanks for Sharing!
