    Sewn footbox after the fact

    I made a diy down top quilt a few years back and did a cinch bottom with snaps for the footbox. I now want to sew up the footbox for less fuss. I am stumped on how the best way would be to do this. The quilt is just a rectangle, no taper or anything complicated. Thanks.

    Shake the down away from the edges of the quilt, sew a straight line down the edge just inside of the snaps and cinch cord, cut the portion with the cinch cord and snaps off, and then add grosgrain or bias tape to avoid fraying. That'd be the easiest way, I think.
