Charlie Brown - Peanuts Quillow
 

I just finished a rather large quillow using fleece as a backing with no batting. I apologize for the somewhat out of focus picture of the quilt part. The Peanuts print squares on it coordinate with the quillow pocket fabric.

It's cute...will make some child happy. I see it has binding. The pattern I use births!

nicely done, sew cute

That is so very cute!

Someone is going to love this. Good work. BrendaK

I love it it's adorable

Adorable quillow, perfect for a child.

So very cute!

Very nice!

Very cute!

You did a great job!

Ohhh! I love it!

The fleece will feel so cozy on a chilly day. The colors are bright and cheerful.

How cute is that!!! I love it.

Since the pocket is put on after quilting how well does it hold up? Like not tearing off and making a hole?

I am hoping that it will hold up ok. I did a double row of stitching on the pocket - one row close to the edge and another a quarter inch in. The fleece is a good quality, and I think has a better chance of holding up over cotton quilting fabric. Also, the pocket is quite large at 19" square, which should help.

Topic is quite timely. I am getting ready to make a quillow for a grandson's eighth birthday. He is just getting ready for the 'sleepover' period of life and I thought a quillow will be fun. So, I appreciate the many comments-will be helpful. I am using Star Wars fabric.

Such a cute quilt.

I'm sure any child, boy or girl, would love to have this quilt. Well done.

Great design and execution!

Oh that's cute!! I love the Peanuts gang- never too old for them :)

Really cute!

Very cute!!!!

Another great quilt! I enjoyed seeing it.

I have made 4 Quillows...and have 2 more to make...can you let me know how you did this beautiful version?

Rusty, there are no secrets in making this quillow. It is made like a regular quilt, but has a fleece backing instead of batting (because that is what I had). I did a regular binding on the quilt part. The pocket is a pillow panel machine quilted to a backing and uses a polyester fluffy batting. A piece of fleece is then sewn to it using the "birthing" or "pillowcase" method with a little bit of quilting done after that through all layers and topstitching all around it. Then it is sewn onto the quilt. For me the biggest challenge with a quillow is getting the pocket placed on in such a way that when you fold, turn, and stuff the quilt in to make a pillow, the front side of the pocket shows. Ha!
