Pillow inserts?
My mom would like me to make her some pillow covers, and I thought it would be a good way to practice making blocks, but i don't know where to get the pillow innerds. Is there a good source for this - foam would be perfect!

JoAnn's sells pillow inserts or you can just make the outside and then stuff with stuffing from, once again, JoAnn's or Walmart.

Just did some for a friend and got them from JoAnn's.

Do you mean little foam pieces filling a pillow insert or solid foam you cut to size? IMHO solid foam shapes need a very tailored pillow cover. JoAnns has several different grades and types of forms that allow for great variety in pillow covers. One reason I signed up for the free block of the month class on Craftsy.com was because I can make the blocks that interest me into pillow covers. I like to change mine in living and family rooms according to seasons.

Yes, cushions, not sleeping pillows! I'll check out Joann's - thanks, all.

I save my really small scraps in a bag and when I have enough I make a simple square or rectangle insert and stuff it with the scraps. Then i make the quilted portion, using a lightweight batting (similar to quilting a pocketbook). Its a good way to recycle the scraps that are too small for anything else.
