    Default Pillow Form
    I have a 12” quilt block I plan to make into a pillow. What size pillow form should I buy, 10” or 12”?

    I like to go for 2” bigger than my cover. That way it’s nice and full. The same size form as your cover will leave it a bit empty looking and loose.

    Go for the 10 inch and your pillow will be nice and plump.

    Go for the 12" so your pillow will be plump, the 10 will be loose and the fabric can shift and look sloppy.

    If you are going to the store and not ordering online, take it with you.

    12 inch will give you a nice full pillow. You will have gaps and loose fabric with a 10" form.
