For my birthday this year my sis-in-law gave me a great present...fabric to make a cover for our Down comfortor. Well, we got to go and look together for the perferct fabric. It was lots of fun. We picked some good fabric and I took it home. Because of Christmas and all the busyness of the holidays, I never got to finish the cover. Further complicating things was the fact that one of the fabrics we found did not actually fit in the room when I got it home. The great thing is that no fabric ever goes to waste...I already have plans for a quilt that will have that fabric for backing. But it left me in a quandery about what to do for my cover. Well thanks to a gift certificate Christmas gift from my mom, I was able to get the fabric to finish this cover. So MaryAnn and mom, I guess you never thought that you would be giving a joint birthday/Christmas gift, but here is the result. Thanks so much, because we really love the new cover and it looks great in the room.

Ties off at the bottom with two ties to keep the comfortor in.
The back side has two different prints in cream with the same paisly theme. They were a great find to finish off the back. I also have lots of fabric left to make cushion covers out. I plan to use covers to put over my Christmas cushions so I can keep them out year round.
