I wanted to make something big, the patterns are bold and I wanted to capture that. And then I thought of a duvet cover. I struggle finding good quality cotton bedding which isn't either overly flowery or decorated with hideous scratchy stitching.
This is my solution: a bright, Scandinavian, mountainous duvet cover that will keep our little bedroom looking light as we go into Autumn. I chose 15 Bella prints and a Kona solid- Annie said white was the best match and she was so right! It was spot on,
I must mention the influence of Marit here- her Wanna Tri posts on 60 degree triangle quilts really captured my attention and she is a great source of knowledge and tips.
There is no waste in this project, only a few scraps left at the end and I used those up making matching pillow cases. You could take this design a little further and use coloured solids instead of the Kona white- Annie has a list of colours that will match the Bella prints.
You can see the entire Bella collection here at
The Village Haberdashery.
Bella Mountains pattern is here. And now for the really exciting bit, a chance to win a great big fat FQ stack of the whole Bella line. A huge thankyou to Annie for such a generous prize!
