I have made two of these so far. On the first one I used prequilted fabric. It kind of made the pillow hard (not soft). On the second one I used fleece. The pillow is very soft on this one. I plan to make more and I'll use the fleece on them. I have the fleece one in my car. I can use it as a pillow or if I'm cold I unfold it and use as a blanket. I think that everyone should have one of these in there cars. The fleece one was very easy to make. I didn't even have to hem the sides. all you have to do is sew a square of fleece on the bottom in the center.
