Hi, Just google "Quillo instructions" and you should be able to get several sites with free instructions. Good Luck.

I attached the pocket to the backing (centering it a few inches above the lower edge of the quilt). Put right sides together, stitch, leaving an opening just below the pocket. Stitch opening, tie or quilt body as you choose. Hope I've explained it well enough, as it has been many years. Have fun!
Because of my arthritis I made my outer pocket with a sorta like accordion fold on the sides to make it easier for me to put back together. Otherwise I'd have to find a neighbor or friend to refold it and put it in the pocket. Not fun asking others when I can plan how I make it. |
It is called a "quillow". Google to term as: instructions to make a pillow quilt called a "quillow". See what you get. God bless.

Quick Quilts magazine also had a pattern for that. I am not sure of the issue it was in but if you go online and do a search on their website you should be able to see which one it was in

I remember Quillows too. Looks like an idea that needs reviving. I remember wanting to make one when I first saw the idea (tv sewing show). May give this a try, and best wishes with yours.
