I made some for friends. Just take two 18" squares, RST, and sew together with the corners of the top one at the midline of each side of the other square. Leave an opening and stuff the inside with pillow stuffing. Sew up open seam area. I put small triangular pockets on two opposing sides to hold things that might be wanted.
Alikat, I am interested in the pillow you describe. I had to handsew two charm squares to "picture" it. That would have 8 corners. What is the advantage over a square pillow? The only pictures I found online were very small with a button in the middle. Thanks for any clarification.
