  • Old quilts

    I have need to renew (buy a new one) my duvet - what on earth does one do with an old one these days?

    Any ideas?

          Guest room need one? We've got a couple in one attic room as it's cheaper than extending the central heating up there.

            If it's duck feather and down filling contained in a cotton outer shell perhaps you could compost it. Don't add the feathers to the heap on a windy day LOL.

                If you know anyone with horses they are often grateful for old duvets to put under stable rugs in winter.

                  Crikes Shirl I always used to use them under the old jute rugs - they were a nightmare in those days especially when the showjumpers needed two under the rugs, would find them hanging down and trodden on thank god for quilted rugs I say.

                  I reckon the dogs home is a good bet, my lot would love a duvet.....

                    We used to cut out neck shaping and put velcro on the outside of duvet and inside of the rug to keep them together

                      How about using them as extra pussy bedding.

                          I was amazed when OH went to the dry cleaners to ask how much to clean the quilt Smokey had drenched with amniotic fluid. It's only a polyester one, but a double, so too big for the washing machine. He was quoted £18 . That wasn't dry clean, it was washing in their industrial washing machine and tumble drying. It only cost around £10 from Dunelm Mill last summer. I said I'd wash it in the bath and drip dry it, he said chuck it and we'll buy another.
                          I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
