I did the same thing last week. I work at a computer and spend a lot of time with my elbow beside the keyboard - uncomfortable. I took 2 fabrics from a charm pack and filled with rice. Not only is it more comfortable for my elbow, when I'm not typing, I hold it and reposition the rice inside different ways. It is just comforting and soft. I will be making more for sure. It is the perfect size for my desk.
