To make a sheet quilt or duvet you will need two flat sheets that are one size larger then your bed. If you are making the curtains (see sewing page in this posting) you might want to use a contrasting material. Buy a roll of high loft fiber fill the size of the quilt you would like to make.
           
            For the duvet place the two sheets together right side facing right side and sew around the edge of the sheets just inside the existing hems. Be sure to leave the end of the sheets that has the large hem open. Turn right inside out so that the right sides are now facing outward. Make button holes across one of the sheets at 12” intervals. On the other large hem sew decorative buttons. Place your comforter inside the duvet and button closed. C’est fini!

            For the quilt, place the two sheets together right side facing right side and sew around the edge of the sheets just inside the existing hems. Turn inside out so that the right sides are facing outward. Place a sheet of high loft fiber fill the size of the quilt that you are making inside the quilt and hem shut. With 3 strands of embroidery floss or pieces of yarn (about 6” long) and a large eyed sewing needle make a close stitch through the quilt top, fiber fill and the underside of the quilt. Bring the needle right back up through all three layers close to the first. Tie the two pieces of yarn/floss together in a double knot. Repeat every 6 to 8 inches. This will hold your fiberfill in place.
