Making a quilt cover?

[KatyMac]

DD wanted some fabulous african fabric as a quilt cover but it isn't wide enough

I have a double flat sheet which I thought to use as the bottom & round the edge giving an 8-12 inch border of plain fabric round the pattern.

At one end I thought to make a hospital corner & only sew the horizontal/vertical seams leaving the diagonal as a hand hold for changing the quilt cover

But what do I do at the other end?

Should I only have the border on 3 side leaving the pattern going to the bottom of the bed (I thought that might look odd)?

Cut the sheet creating a border & then think about the fastening?

Somehow make the bottom of the patterned fabric the opening?

Help?

The corners are not going well

What about buying a plain duvet cover and then sewing a panel on, you could put some quilting under to add a bit of depth and interest.

Three-quarters in now

It looks great but as I say the corners are tricky!

I've had to hand sew the corners - I hate hand sewing!!

Nearly finished

Oh rubbish I do to but will be lovely when it's done I am sure x

Wow katy it looks fab! Lovely colours.

Just doing velcro now

Wow that's lovely!

Thanks - it took ages to find what she wanted

Didn't do Velcro - I used ribbons

Oh well done ! She will love it .

Thanks - she does love it (esp the ribbons)

Now I just need to make a bolster thingie
