I buy 2 yards of fabric (for the front of my quillow) when I am making quillows. For my backing, I buy
2 more yards of fabric and an extra 1/2 yard for the pillow OR I buy a half yard of coordinating fabric for the pillow. Quillows are such a nice gift for someone - I have made almost 20 so far. (I use whole fabric instead of piecing them.) A quillow is a pillow and a quilt made together.
