"I made this duvet as a promise to myself that we would soon be living someplace worthy of such a beautiful bed. I used 10 yds. of IL020 Bleached. The flowered strips are also linen. It's a very lightweight cover that's comfortable in hot or cold weather."

This is beautiful. Did you do all that embroidery? Absolutely lovely.

Beautiful - I love how you incorporated the other linen….great way to figure out how to make a cover without odd seams since it's not wide enough. Very inspiring!!

Absolutely beautiful and inviting. Rustic and delicate at the same time. Love.

Thank you for the nice compliments! To answer Linda, this is not embroidered - the flower strips are printed linen - I used them to add some interest, and as Candy noticed, it hides the seams since the fabric isn't wide enough to make it in one piece.

This is simple and whimsical yet tasteful and elegant at once. Who doesn't love a duvet? This one, with it's creamy background and floral accents panels is a dream. The quality of the workmanship is evident from the lay of the piece. Just beautiful.

I always zig-zag the ends of my linen and pre-wash before cutting and sewing. It's easier to cut and sew before washing, but then shrinkage is a crapshoot. I figured this out on graph paper calculating the shrinkage % fabrics-store posted on their website
