Quillow for my great nephew
 

A quillow is a quilt with a pocket on one side. You fold the quilt into the pocket to make a pillow. This quillow size is 39.5 x 65 . I used minke for the backside. The pattern I used came from Fons and Porter's book Fun Quilts for kids of all ages. Summer 2007. This is a great quilt to use up novelty prints you don't want to cut and piece.

This is so cute and so adorable :)

A cheerful quilt for Jacob.

Great idea for a little one

Your quillow is very nice and will be loved! I made several of these a few years ago.

I made them for graduation gifts for my grandchildren and a girlfriend. They were well used.

very nice!!!

I just love it ! And your fabric is sooo cute!

Probably about 15 years ago when I was still working and knew nothing about quilts, I decided I wanted to make a
quillow for my nephew. I couldn't understand why you would use such thin batting, I mean weren't you suppose to get warm under a quilt? Well, I did it my way and just imagine how hard it was to fold that sucker with the thickest batting I could find. My nephew ripped the thing trying to undo and refold that thing. A close friend and I still laugh about it. I've learned a few things about quilting since.

cute and perfect quilting

Love quillows. This is very boyish.

You will be No. 1 great aunt.

Cute! Great fabrics!

That is a good story. I worried about the thickness of my quillow also, since I used batting and minky backing.
I do think it challenging to fold it back into the pillow. There is a utube video that shows how to fold a quillow into the pocket.Thanks for sharing your adventure. Every quilting project has an adventure.

And kids love'em!

Very cute, well done!

Very cute. I love quillows. :)

So adorable! I have always wanted to make a quillow & never have. Now my GK's are grown! I might still do it someday though. I love yours

I love quillows! And yours in made of a fun print AND customized! Great job.

I use to make those many years ago..They are always a great gift...

Adults like them too. When I made one for my nephew, my sister hinted that the "next time" I felt like making one, she'd like one. She would "borrow" her son's quillow for watching TV. She'd put her feet in the pocket for warmth.;o)
