    I started out making a Duvet Cover for Goose Down Duvet on my bed!! Now I am wondering if I could have this top quilted directly to the duvet using it as back and middle! Have anyone ever done this

    Interesting idea. I think it may be too thick to quilt. Looking forward to seeing if anyone has given it a try.

    You may also have difficulty if the duvet is goose or other type of down. Could play havoc with your sewing machine. And there could be feathers/down everywhere before, during and after...

    you could quilt the top first- then add it to the duvet with ties instead of quilting

    I had a purchased cover that was quilted on top and single layer back. It was heavy enough to use without the duvet for summer.

    I made duvet covers for my grandsons one time by quilting one side of the fabric and attaching that to the backing (like a pillow case). Looked like a quilt from the front. I would think it would be very difficult to try to quilt through down feathers. And then it would be impossible to wash. The object of a duvet is to protect the down and still be able to keep the outside clean. If you quilt it you are defeating that purpose.

    I made a duvet cover and added buttons & loops so the down comforter would stay in place at the corners. Family member was a restless sleeper.

    I did this once and my husband called it the brick wall. Once you were under it there was no moving around it was so heavy.
