I was working on a quilt, but in the end didn't feel like dropping the money on batting or the time on actually quilting the whole thing. Solution? Duvet cover! Still looks like a lovely hand-made quilt, keeps me toasty in these winter months, and I didn't have to quilt it! First photo is in the middle of assembly, second photo is near completion. I'm estimating 10 hours, but who knows. The time-consuming part is getting all the squares cut out, assembly is easy sewing in straight lines. It's super cheap if you have old clothes or scraps (wovens!) lying around, and I always get a sheet from the thrift store to complete the back. The biggest expense ends up being the thread. (My kind of budget!)
