Well, I did it my way and just imagine how hard it was to fold that sucker with the thickest batting I could find. My nephew ripped the thing trying to undo and refold that thing. A close friend and I still laugh about it. I've learned a few things about quilting since.
    That is a good story. I worried about the thickness of my quillow also, since I used batting and minky backing.
    I do think it challenging to fold it back into the pillow. There is a utube video that shows how to fold a quillow into the pocket.Thanks for sharing your adventure. Every quilting project has an adventure.

    So adorable! I have always wanted to make a quillow & never have. Now my GK's are grown! I might still do it someday though. I love yours
