Quillow finished

Had lots of fun making this quillow!
Ran out of background colour but you can't really tell another colour was introduced. It's a very pale Moda marble.
Sunglasses at hand an advantage. I love bright colours!
The 2nd pic, the bargello block is the quillow pouch.

That's absolutely beautiful!

I've been reading a lot of different instructions on how to make a quillow. Did you have any trouble attaching the pouch without having it show on the pieced top? Could you share the dimensions of the quilt? I'm thinking of turning the current quilt I'm working on into a quillow if I can keep the stitching from attaching the pouch from messing up the front.

I really need to make myself a quillow for my couch. Most of these things are too short for me, and my feet are always cold. I can tuck my feet into the quillow and keep warm.
