17:46 I made a quillow for a woman with Parkinsons, and she asked for two ‘grab-loops’ to be sewn into the corners where you grab to turn the pillow square right side out over the folded quilt . That made it easy for her to turn it. For kids you could use webbing straps folded in half, overlapped at the base of the webbing to look like cat or dog ears, so when it’s turned pillow-side-out, the loops look fun. Thank you for sharing the pattern. It’s really fun for stack-and-whack and fussy cutting too. Because if you make one, you’ll want to make more ☺️🧵🪡

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

The loops are such a great suggestion! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! -Michelle

@mregister3945 10 месяцев назад

Love your idea for the "grab hooks"! Thank you! 💖

@mariannecamous3472 Год назад

I made one 30 years ago ( although not pieced/quilted) when my daughter was born. Used it initially as a breast feeding support under my arm, then it became her blanket. She still has it and loves it! Keeps it on her sofa for watching TV!

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

That's a wonderful suggestion for this project! We're glad it brings back some fond memories. -Michelle

@sunflowerbaby1853 Год назад

I've made these for every person I know in themed fabrics of their choice. I just used two fabrics, no precuts. Everyone wanted one!!! And for the kiddos I machined embroidered their names on the pillow portion. Always was a guaranteed hit.

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

That's amazing! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle

@rachelschneider6142 Год назад

❤. Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been looking for a pattern for these. I want to make these for my local Rainbow Room. Children going into foster care usually don’t have many or any belongings and this is something they can keep and take with them where ever they’re placed.

Y qué mejor si usan retazos guardados o reciclan algo de casa.👍👏👏👏💗💐

@soniaspf9705 Год назад

I made one for my daughter and husband when they got married so they could cuddle up on the couch and now I made one for my granddaughter. We live in Germany and my daughter and family live in the UK so when she visits the quill comes with her.

We used to make these with 3 fabrics. A print (cotton or flannel) for the front with a coordinating fabric for the pillow and fleece for the back. They were fun to make. I even have a pattern by Boulder Creek Designs from 2003 that fancied them up with buttoned tabs on the sides.

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Fleece or flannel would definitely be a great addition to this project! Thanks so much for commenting. -Michelle

@margaretdevries8090 Год назад

I had a legal home daycare 25 years ago and made a bunch of these for my kids They were not quilted I just ran straight lines down from pillow They Held up well I also made some for the adults I knew The pillow was not quilted I used printed squares i used nice fabric appropriate for kids …. And pretty printed for adults. Super easy to make it was years later when they became popular I got the pattern from a magazine ,,

@dianareddell1496 Год назад

That sounds like great gifts!…even for adults. They can fold up into pillows and easily stay on the couch as decoration when not in use.

@sharontuch3405 Год назад

Had to come on to get measurements this Friday for tomorrow! 😊 Sew I was thinking 🤔 again if I use my charm packs could I also use jelly roll to go on the sides?? My math sucks bad! As I have matching lol Anyone ?? Thank You 🙏

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Hi Sharon - You could use jelly roll strips, just keep in mind the measurements. Since they're 2.5" wide, you'd have 4.5" strip if you sewed two of them together. If you sew 3 strips together, you can cut 5" blocks to make the math on it easier. Hope this helps! -Michelle www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/585

@sorapokeball Год назад

I'm curious, why do you use a larger piece of backing and padding and then cut down, instead of cutting them to the correct size to begin with?

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Sometimes the quilting will "shrink" the backing and batting. This way, everything is the same when you assemble the quillow. Hope this helps! -Kristen

@melizabeth1391 Год назад

I think this would be a great car blanket, for emergencies, spontaneous picnics, or just cold passengers. It folds up nice and small, can be used as a blanket or a pillow ( way more comfortable than just resting your head on the window), and is nice and warm if you breakdown in winter.

@marykayharman6577 Год назад

Love this project. Is there any way to make this larger for an adult? I would love to have one for myself.

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Hi Mary Kay Harman - You should be able to add more squares to increase this project to your desired size. The quilt portion finishes to approximately 40" × 71.5". Depending on how much extra yardage you add to this quilt, you may want to increase the border size of your pillow portion to allow for the added bulk when folded together. Hope this makes sense! -Michelle

@marykayharman6577 Год назад

@@ShabbyFabrics Yes. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

@MarleneBoyle-Acorn Год назад

I’m making my first very Quillow & actually my first quilt. Do you stitch-in-the-stitch both vertically & horizontally? It’s hard to see from the picture on the back of the quilt. I see that it’s done on the pillow/pocket.

@lianyihime534 Год назад

Would this work with minky fabric?

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Hi Lianyi - While we haven't used minky fabrics to create this project, it should probably work the same, but you may consider making the size of the pillow portion a bit larger to accommodate for the bulk of the fabrics. -Michelle

@Mickey-jn8hz Год назад

I am thinking on making the border of the pillow a tad wider and doing French seams for strength, what are your thoughts on this, I haven’t decided on the fabric yet as I want to do this for myself. I have been wanting to make a lap/snuggle on the couch robe for quite some time now…..

@ShabbyFabrics Год назад

Hi Mickey - Because the seams on the pillow aren't exposed (and include the bulk of batting material), we don't think French seams would work the way you anticipate. Hope this helps! -Michelle
