The fruit of my labour...

Here's what the fabric I bought yesterday has become...

...one half of a duvet cover.  It's for the old duvet that was on our bed before I bought the new one on Monday. 

This will be my extra blanket for when Helmut steals the other one in the middle of the night.  I see it folded in thirds and laying across the bottom of our bed. I can't wait to finish the rest of it!

Still trying to decide how to close it...I don't want to do button holes.

Here's what the fabrics look like up close...

I really like how this turned out. 

And apparently, it's big enough to cover 3 of the kids... : )
