Avi's quilted patchwork duvet

This was my first attempt at a quilted patchwork duvet cover.  I love quilting, but the reality is comforters and duvet covers are easier in a lot of ways, especially with kids who kick all their blankets around.  They are warmer and stay put better because they are heavier and bigger probably.  However, there is absolutely nothing on the market that I want to purchase for my sons' rooms.  I refuse to put some licensed character on their bed, solid colors are boring, and really, what matches with the three-shades-of-sky-themed bedroom that he has?  So, I decided to take all the different scraps of blue I had from all the different projects over the years and put it together.  I gave him the choice of a pattern or just a mix of rectangles.  He obviously chose the latter.  He worked on it with me for about the first third of the project.  He'd pick out the next fabric and help push down the presser foot as we sewed it to the existing piece, but the project didn't move quickly enough for him and he lost interest and spent the time I was at the machine throwing fabric all over the room.  That didn't help create a we're-doing-this-together vibe so much, but rather a kid-you're-driving-me-crazy feeling on my part, so I asked him if he wanted me to finish it on my own and surprise him with it when it was done.  I did for Hanukkah.  He was less than impressed.  See more here. Anyhow, a few months later, I'm pretty sure he likes it.
