Pillowcases are so easy and look great

I like to especially if the quilt is a gift. Then I also use the pillow case as a gift bag! :P

Occasionally; however, I sorta cheat. I take samples of my fabric to WalMart or Target and find their plain pillowcases. I usually can find a pillowcase that blends really well with the colors in my quilt. I buy a larger size pillowcase, trim off the hem and replace with fabric used in the quilt. Quicker, easier, and a little less expensive than buying the fabric and making my own.

Great idea! I had never thought of that! A money saver! :P

I made pillow cases instead of shams (to use as shams) and valances to match our quilts. However I do have enough material left over to make shams..just havent decided if I want shams or dresser toppers. Also made valance for our adjoining bathroom.

Yes, I make matching pillowcases and curtains when I make a quilt for my bed. Makes the room look real nice.

Yes, I just finished two sets yesterday to go with the quilts I made my grandchildren for Christmas. Instead of wrapping them I just put them in the quilt and tied a bow around them. I made the ribbon out of the long scraps from them also.

I'm making some for the tulip quilt I just finished. They will be my first ones, but not be design. It's just the first time I've thought I wanted them.

I just make a pillow cover. Just make your bed and throw cover over pillows. Quick and easy.

I love this idea!
