Hi everyone,

I am new to the forums but I do have a question--haven't found advice on this through searching. I purchased a beautiful quilt top at a thrift store with the state birds of all 50 states painted on it. It's a HUGE quilt top--easily king-sized. I am no good at sewing and this quit top is so big that I am not sure what to do with it.

I can take it by my local quilt shop and they will finish it for 2 cents a square foot. But I'd like to try something on my own, even though it's a huge quilt and I am a lousy seamstress. Could I make it into a duvet cover for a feather quilt? Or should I build a frame and just learn how to hand-quilt? Any thoughts are welcome!

Yes on a duvet. Or you can build a frame.It is just large which is the overwhelming part. But it is all straight sewing and you can do it.
