They are wonderful, and your posting is timely for me because I'm trying to psych myself up to make 4 for my son and DIL. She is pregnant, and when they came at Thanksgiving they brought 4 extra pillows to prop her up to get her head elevated. Then they forgot the pillows. DH and I, too, like to bring our own pillows when we travel, and by accident I learned some years ago that using the brightest, most clash-with-everything fabric for them on road trips increases the chance that you'll see them when you look around the room for anything you might have forgotten. So I want to make them a set that will stick out like a sore thumb in case of future travels. Anyway, after reading your story, my 4 pillowcase project seems much more doable.
