New bedding...

Just ordered a new quilted coverlet to top our duvet for winter. I realize it's still summer for most of you, but there definitely is fall in the air here.

My duvet is medium weight with a large scale soft teal/beige paisley pattern, and just ordered a quilted coverlet in pale aqua. Don't need the extra cover yet, but will be ready.

Usually our winter extra layer goes on at the end of September, so it is ordered early. We just might need it early with the weather we have been having.

Our weatherman today told us that this has been the most lively start to the hurricane season ever recorded, and we can expect these storms to be winging their way to the U.K. eventually this autumn. Hope it doesn’t mean floods.

Your bedding sounds nice canadiangran I’m very fond of those colours and thinking of changing my bedroom to teal etc.

It seems to have think winged its way here already.
I peeked out this morning and everywhere looked decidedly autumnal already, although it's still warm, not hot.
It's blown a hooley again today with heavy downpours too.

I'm trying to order some teal yarn but it's been out of stock for a while so it must be a popular colour.

Superfluous think there.
I thought I'd checked because autocorrect makes complete nonsense of what I actually type.

We are still sleeping under a sheet, no duvet at all, even the Summer 3 tog is too warm.
Looking forward to colder weather just to enjoy having a duvet again.
Teal is a lovely colour ( I want a jumper in it) but you only seem to see it in home furnishings.

Oh goodness, can’t think of winter yet, the last few weeks here haven’t felt like summer. Not too cold but grey, windy and wet. Miserable weather.

Indeed, cornergran! I too am hoping for some more summer. A couple of good weeks isn't sufficient. Last week was lovely, but we seem to have reverted to cool, grey, damp days again.

I have a 4.5 tog duvet covered with a light quilted bedspread in shades of pink and grey. My winter duvet is 10.5 tog, I usually have a crocheted blanket to throw over it if the weather is really cold.

4.5 tog duvet at the moment. In the very hot weather nothing. 13.5 tog in the winter but hopefully not for a while yet . I have a set of teal and a set of pink bedding in the same design which I alternate

My 15 tog has never been off my bed. Admittedly when it was 27C at night I did not need anything except my new fan but now I am using my duvet each night. I am a cold morsel.
