I have never seen a pine burr quilt before. I love your quilt and cushion. Thank you so much for explaining how you did it and then including instructions you found. I think I will try it as a pillow and see where I go from there.

I didn't use any instructions. I eyeballed it and then tried it out on one piece first. When I deem it feasible, I went on with 3 more. So my way may not be "authentic" or "authorized".
I used 2 inch squares, folded half into rectangle, and then folded the 2 sides down diagonally to form a triangle. Just go round and round, each round a different color. The trick is to design the color scheme before hand, so the result is pleasing to your eye.
I trimmed each pine burr to approx 18 inch square, then add sashings to it. I tacked it down to a backing. No batting is used behind the pine burr as they are already very heavy. But I did put batting under the sashings to add more body.
I found something online. You can check it out.
