    520224Done. I just quilted the lining and blocks together. Usually, I do French seams, but I thought it was too thick. I'm glad I didn't use batting. I think it would be too heavy.

    If I do that, how far apart do you think I can get away with quilting it?

    I'm thinking of this as more decorative than practical (use as a pillow), but I don't want the blocks to unravel inside the case. Maybe I should just quilt the liner to the blocks? I try washing up...

    Making a pillow case out of leftover blocks

    I'm trying to make a pillow case out of leftover blocks. Will it work out ok if I just line it with muslin or do I have to use batting? I don't really want the thickness. Could I just sew the lining...

    That's pretty normal for good quality quilting fabric. I've paid as much as $14.95/yard. Clothing made overseas is so inexpensive, it is almost cheaper to buy clothes and cut them up.
