I haven't been on the site for a while. Just finished my first Quillo. Got some John Deere fabric from an Auntie in Minnesota that My Uncle is a John Deere Man, and thought I would try this. I printed the picture of the tractor off the block and made the pillow design with that and then thought I have to make both sides the same so when it is turned from pillow to blanket, it won't be lost. Took me a while as I couldnt work on it all the time.

Great job, my DGS would love it!

Very nice! Where would you get a pattern for a quillo? O didn't realiE we couldake those.

Nice job. I;m new also I haven't started the sewing and cutting. I'm gathering all the basics. I like that I could see the some of the stitches you used.

Looks great, great job.

Did you make it for your uncle? you did a fantastic job!

Love it!! John Deere girl here myself, my father worked there for 30 years. Nice job!!

Very nice!

Really cute

I got it on line done a search on Quillos. there are a few different ones. the first one I ever seen is what my sister made for my Mom and Dad 20 years ago, and she then gave them to my daughters when our parents passed away so I had to borrow one to look at just to make sure I was doing it right. as some patterns dont explain it well.

No, just made it for myself as a memento of seeing them and of the trip back to the States to catch up with the decreasing number of Aunts and Uncles there is only one of each left from a family of 13

Thanks for the compliment. Still I can see some of the mistakes, but the next one should be better.

Very cute and usable. Great job.

These are so fun to make when my 28 yr. old son was little I made all his now hes onto adult size!!! Years ago I made everyone in my family one!!! Granddaughter still has her frist one!!! Great
job on yours!!!

I have always wanted to make a quillo but somehow I never remember to do it. I am printing this as a reminder. Good Job, I know you made someone very happy.

Don't see these much anymore altho about 8 years ago I made 9 of them for all the grandkids for Xmas---they're still using them.
Good for you, Kutnso

Great job

great job, i have 21 grandchildren so i have been down the quillow path before. if you want you can add straps & it makes a good overnight bag to tuck jammies in when going to grannys. its a little confusing the first time you make it, but then you realize its a blanket with a pocket.

When I made one and sent to my aunt in Fl., she called to thank me for the blanket with the foot warmer. Cracked me up LOL!!!!!

FOOT WARMER !!!! what a great idea.

VERY CUTE

Love the John Deere

Back in my daughter's high school drill team days all the girls in the squad had these. They did use the pocket as foot warmers - tucking their feet in and snuggling down for the long bus rides home. I still have hers at my house (she's 29 now) and will have to make some for the grands. Thanks for the picture and the idea!

Quillows are wonderful!! I have made many :-D

really nice a made a puff quilt, my avitar. Took so long to make as I sewed it all by hand. I am sure it took you a lot of time, but, the result sure paid off. Great quilt

very nice! these are great for taking on a trip with kids, esp if the weather is cooler, they can cuddle up under a quilt in the back seat, or use it as a pillow on the ride sharet

double post, sorry
