This is my first. I tacked it on my machine, it was time consuming but turned out pretty good. I used 45" x 72" material. I have always wanted to make one of these. I am adding a pic close up so you can see the tacking. I am ready to make another one now. I'm really getting into this, lol.

folded it is a pillow

These are such great travel quilts. You did a great job and the colors are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

yes, I got my instructions on line. Just type in How to make a Quillow. You will find several ones to show you how. They are real easy. The hardest part is learning to fold it. :D

I just made a batch for the first time. They are very fun and quick to sew. I agree the hardest part is the folding. It stumped me at first.

I used to sell quillows I made at craft shows. If you remember first thing. Turn the pocket inside out, the rest is easy to fold. That is the only hint I have ever had to give, pocket inside out.

They have been around for years, I have just now done one. They are fun and to do and very useful. Make great gifts too.
