Quiltingboard Forums - Easy pillow cover!

Thanks for the kind words about my pillow cover. I really don't have a real pattern for it. It fits a 18"pillow but you can make them any size. This is made with 4 main pieces..two 22" x 18 1/2 folded to be 11 x18 1/2, front of fabric facing out, this is the back. The front is a piece cut 18 1/2" x 14 1/2" and another contrasting piece cut 4 1/2" x 18 1/2". I put in prairieoints...as big or small as you like and as many as you like (I like mine on the small side so more of the main fabric shows!). I sew the points to the larger top piece with a 1/8" seam, then sew the 4 1/2" piece to that. Should be 18 1/2" square now. Put that face up on your table place the two back pieces on that with the folds in the center. Sticth all around and now you have a envelope. Turn right side out push corners out and insert pillow. Hope this makes sense..easier to do than say. Carol
