I do it an easier way, at least for me. I cut the pillow flannel pieces first(just cut the yd. of flannel in 4 equal pieces). I cut out the 12 pillows from novelty fabric...sometimes I just have scraps of novelty and cut one pocket at a time. Then I sew one pillow/pocket at a time...look at the pictures I posted.
I just copied their directions as given to me because a couple of girls wanted them asap and I'm so busy making a log cabin quilt for a wedding so I didn't have time to rewrite the directions. I hope the pics can help you out.
