    You could do this with pieced squares as well. Scroll to bottom of page for link to directions. This is cool. http://www.littlebitfunky.com/2010/0...heats-lot.html

    What a great way to dress up a comforter! That's definitely going on my list of things to do.

    I have a plain white comforter that isn't Down filled but close enough. I never use it but I have some quilt tops that would work on this. Good idea, thanks.

    Cute idea...don't like the raw edges.....I would sew muslin to back of squares to create turned edges.

    I had considered "quilting" a printed sheet onto a comforter, but like this idea much better! It has more character and could be a great way to use up leftover blocks!

    Like Lady Diana and susiequilt, I don't like raw edging and would turn the edging as well.

    Geri B, thought of that too...I wonder if it would really be necessary to use a fusible...couldn't you use basting glue of some kind to hold them in place until they are stitched?? Just a thought...not always good...but a thought!

    we have a Cuddledown outlet close to where I live and they offer 50% off on "seconds" with imperfections. You can bet I will be giving this a whirl... I'll start on a small size first. Thanks for sharing the post.
