I made a Quillow several years ago for my brother. He wanted it very, very sturdy as he planned on giving it lots of use so insisted on picking out the fabric. I was rather supprised when he showed up carrying upholstory fabric. All in all it came out great and he loved it to death. It softened up over the years. BTW he was 40 yrs.old at the time!

I remember exactly but I knew when it was called a "Quillow"

I think I spelled it correctly. I am not sure about the directions but am sure you can find them online.

Fons and Porter did one of their shows demonstrating this and it was also in one of their magazines about a year ago. It might be on their website to view.

They are sometimes called quillows. I downloaded free patterns, however, I never made one. Just put quillow in your bar and it will send you to a list of sites. I went to one called crazycreekquilts.com/free-quillow-patterns.html and found one. Try that one. Jackie

Made my Brother a quillow several years ago, he said, love the quilt and the pocket to put my feet in! we had a great laugh on that one. He recently passed away and the quilt went with him, I will always remember the quilt with the pocket for your feet

Joann,
What a touching story. I use my quillow the same way. I put my feet in it. I made the quilt part extra long so it would cover anybody who used it (mostly me now). I don't even try to fold it back into a pillow.
