I sewed quillows for craft shows for about 10 years, and have made thousands of them. They are quilts that fold up into a pocket and makes a pillow. I usually tied my quillows because quilting them (when they have been birthed) is a holy terror, because the front and back aren't always equal. I always cut off 18 inches for the pocket first, and then dealt with the remainder fabric. All my quillows were about 42 inches by 72 inches so they were big ones. I even made them from polartec fleece. They are very cushy and fat if you use really thick batting. This is what I did. Usually between 3.5 oz and 6 oz batting. You can make these in less than an hour if you know how to do it (each).
