Green Project 1

:::i have been cutting up an old duvet/comforter/quilt cover (whatever do you call these things?) for the backing of the green quilt. hello, i think everyone either has or has seen this ikea green quiltcover!

:::it has become like the most ubiquitous bed covering ever. and i don't really like it. i don't know why we bought it to begin with. anyway, i was tired of washing the duvet cover and re-covering the duvet (i seriously hate that job of all laundry jobs -- does anyone like this job? i am accepting applicants), and that was the reason i thought i should make a quilt to begin with. what better usage of a soon-to-be-useless duvet cover than for it to become the backing of the quilt, right?

:::so, i was thinking, since there is a ton of material left still, that i could use it for other sewing projects, and i could keep track of all the things i make out of that one duvet cover as a sort of portfolio. let's see how many ways i can stretch that little bit of ikea goodness. i will name it "the green project", and it is green, in more ways than one! ha! that was not so clever or original, but at least it is true.

:::obviously, (the backing of) this green quilt here is Green Project number 1! more to come
