At last, this has been sitting in a box for at least two and a half years waiting for me to do something with it. Inspired by a photo in a book

this one I think, it looked fresh and clean and I had a blue jelly roll stashed away, I made the top. So it must have been started over three years ago :| Well it's finally finished, quilted with simple straight lines and now put away with others until I decide to use it (probably in the summer) as a bed cover when it's too warm for the duvet - well we live in hope. Very easy to do as it is only squares and rectangles.
Ooops forgot the picture.

That really is lovely, so fresh looking. As for it ever being warm enough to ditch a duvet ..... :D :D :D..... we live in hope :D

Lovely, Mali. Why not use it now, though.
I use my patchwork quilt all year round on top of my duvet! In winter I have a 13 tog plus quilt, in summer a 4.5 tog plus quilt, but I do live in Scotland in an old stone house. Using a quilt also saves me having to iron my duvet cover 0_0

A beautiful fresh quilt Mali...very pretty and so effective. Makes me think of the beach and summer days.
Oh my goodness Sheilago...you iron your duvet covers!! :o What a legend......I thought folding mine neatly was praise-worthy for me! Well....yes, come to think of it....if you knew me, this simple task would be praiseworthy, but ironing...oh my that's taking it to a whole new level of wonder that I'm not ever going to mention to Mr.Ruby for fear of him "raising the bar" in my weekly domestic achievements!!! LOL.
