I have been searching for simple quillow pattern. I am so glad I found your tutorial!! I am no longer intimidated!!!! I especially liked it because it's quick and simple! No patchwork involved! Thanks for the insight!!!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're very welcome! Yes - they can be as intricate as people want but I like quick and simple, especially for kids. Pick a fabric you love and let it do the heavy lifting. Have fun!

In all honesty@@ArtistTaraReed , my sewing buddy passed away 2 years ago. She had made her son a quillow. He ripped it and it's beyond repair! So your tutorial gave me the idea to use the original quillow as the batting. Though, I did have to cut 5" off the original one to make it the same length of the provided measurements. Guess I should have measured the quillow first, but this will work just fine!!!

@@moniquegoldsberry2601 so sorry to hear about your loss of a sewing buddy and how wonderful of you to re-work her son's quillow. 😇

[@ArtistTaraReed]

It's a very pinchable idea! 🥰

I Loved putting my feet in the pocket as a kid. Especially when it was extra cold. Kept toes cozy warm too!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

My son used to to that too 🥰

I am using fleece to make qwillows, but need to use cotton fabric to make the pillow.... Any suggestions how to determine how to big to cut fabric for the pocket?

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Oh that’s trickier as the fleece will be puffier… I’m just guessing but maybe 4-5” wider and taller than the tutorial suggests? Lmk what works - they sound super snuggly!

[@sallyschilling1559]

@ArtistTaraReed thank you for your input.

[@dorothyphipps1438]

What batting are you using?

[@ArtistTaraReed]

I’m not 100% sure and I’m traveling - I’ll let you know when I’m home in a few days and can double check!
