Our comforter cover was really, really showing its age (don't we all!!), and I knew it had to be replaced. Several years ago I had sewn this strip of blocks together, because I wanted to understand the process. Here are the basic instructions for making this type of strip. It has hung around for quite a while, patiently waiting to be used.
It worked perfectly as a "strip of interest" on a comforter cover. (Is this supposed to be called a duvet? Or is the duvet the comforter that is inside? I'm really confused by these words.) I used a spare sheet that I had, and after measuring carefully, I just top-sewed the strip to the sheet.
You can see that I used the top of the sheet for the bottom of the comforter cover, so it has a nicely finished hemmed edge. I hand-sewed extra-large snaps to the bottom of the cover to close it.
