I made 5 for my nephews when they were younger.
The first ones I made with a picture on the pillow and just used same colour fabrics inside and with these I sewed the cushion on all 3 sides to the quilt.
I then saw a quillow made all in fleece with the cushion having 6 small 21/2 by 3 inch like tabs. One end in the cushion seam the other end stitched onto the quilt. Younger nephew said it was easier for him at 3 to put quilt inside.
I have also used panels for the cushion.

Size of quilt was usually single bed size as they took them with them to camp. . Parents scout leaders so the boys went all the time from months old. The cushion was one third of the width and length usually 1/4 but you need plenty of room inside.

Here is a picture of a quillow from an old magazine. I have made these for new babies to teenagers. It appeals to all.but remove from toddlers who chew.

Look at top left corner and you can see where it opens into a quilt.triangles are fastened with a button and hair things.
