Quilt

Thanks to modern technology, Lukas knew precisely when his big exciting box would arrive. He happily completed the inventory to ensure that he had received everything, and then rapidly set out on the first of many projects.
He commandeered the dining room table for marking, measuring, and cutting the fabric for his quilt - a lightweight alternative to a sleeping bag. When the dining room table proved to be too small, he took over the living room floor. At least, that meant the floor got a good clean because you cannot put these nice new fabrics on a dirty floor.  He measured twice and cut once. He carefully adjusted the stitching and tension of the sewing machine, and he devised a no-pin method of holding the fabrics together.
Since it was still chilly outside, he had the opportunity to test out his new bedding. The 28-ounce quilt kept him warm and toasty - a success.
