Quilt ‘n Queen...you are here
LynMarie At That Other Blog
to make the perfect project...
...finally it came to me...
...I needed a pillow and a quilt for my car.
so I decided to make
a quilt in a pillow called a quillow.
and 1-1/2 yards of blue scene fabric for the back.
I quilted it as a whole cloth quilt and added the binding.
I centered a 15" x 15" quilted square to the back of the quilt
by sewing the sides and across the top of the square,
leaving the bottom open to create a pocket.
I can use it as a pillow, a quilt...and it will even be great as a picnic blanket.
I hope you have enjoyed my Nancy Drew project.
Thanks for visiting today.
I have a giveaway on my previous post.
Giveaway ends March 16th...
winners will be announced March 18th
after I return from my vacation.
Thursday I am at the AQS Quilt show in Lancaster PA.
Happy stitching
I absolutely love this - how perfect for traveling! blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteThe fabrics really shine in this project. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI made some quillows a few years ago and I liked how each one of them turned out. I like yours better however. Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great -- I love the way you placed the book cover on the pillow!
ReplyDeleteA quillow is an awesome thing and your is so lovely. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove it! (I used to make something called the same but made from fleece.) Really love the quilted version! Congrats on being one of the chosen!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYay, a quillow! I've always wanted to make one but still haven't. Thanks for putting it to the front of my brain again. :)
ReplyDeleteOh so clever and I haven't thought of Killows in ages! Thanks for being on the hop!
ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful! I have heard of them but never made one. You will use this a lot!
ReplyDeleteAs usual you had a wonderful idea and it makes a wonderful quillow, I have always wanted to try one. It is so bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteIt's great! Looks very comfy. Hope you enjoyed your getaway.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I love your quillow and something that would be much appreciated in my car. You did a super job of making the pillow part look just right.
ReplyDeleteLove your Quillow!!! Thanks for showing us how to make one too!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your quillow. I can remember when they were all the rage many, many years ago. Good to see people are still making them.
ReplyDeleteI love quillows but it's been a few years since I made one. I love the front of the pillow.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother used to make those for us! I can't believe no one thought to call it a Quillow. We called it a Pillow Quilt. She made at least 100 of those things for friends and family. I still have mine. I LOVE your Nancy Drew one, and I know you will get as much use out of it, as I got out of mine!! The best part is when you get to roll it up!

One of the best things about this hop (besides the fantastic fabric) is seeing non-traditional and fun pieces of work! This is a great idea! It will keep you smiling to use it!
ReplyDeleteQuillows are great projects. Your quillow is both functional and adorable. Thanks for the great idea. Hope you are having a wonderful vacation. I bet Lancaster and the quilt show are just the perfection of a vacation. Now I am more excited to see you in upcoming hops with new, wonderful, and creative ideas. Thanks for participating and sharing a great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love your quillow! I need to make one to keep in my car for my grandchildren. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your quillow over at Mdm Samm's. Way cool! What a great job! Enjoy Lancaster!
