There is so much going on in my life that interferes with my ability to sew. It will end someday and I will have a fantastic sewing space. It's just going to be painful for the next 6 months.
Since I took this photo, I've sewn the patterned duvet top together. There was just barely enough fabric so I had an excuse not to try to match the pattern. The red African fabric has the irregular pattern characteristic of hand-printed fabric. It would have driven me crazy to try to match the stripes. (Remember my past experience with matching an African hand-printed fabric?)
This weekend, I hope to find some time to make the button closure band and sew it to the cozy flannel backing.
I also hope to finish laying out my AGU poster and complete all sections except for formatting the references.
Update: See the completed duvet in Not Square.
Not matching the stripes on purpose is a valid artistic choice. Plus, the color is lovely
