I just recently made a pillow using that technique. I used 6 inch squares of muslin for the bottom and 4.5" squares of prints for the top. I sewed three sides, stuffed, then combined squares to stitch the open side(s). It was pretty forgiving – at one point the seam line showed, so I stitched again a little higher and all was well, the front design wasn't affected at all.
I did feel quite done with that technique after making 16 little pillows. I wouldn't mind having another pillow, but I don't know that I would ever attempt a quilt or even a baby blanket. But that's just me, I have a short attention span
