Such fun!

I am making some cushions for my Mother-in-law as a Christmas present, I started before I started quilting, so I have made one so far in just plain turquoise satin. Anyway, I have decided that since I have discovered this fabulous hobby, I would quilt the other two. I decided to have a go at free motion quilting using the darning foot on my machine, It was such fun!
Okay, it is a bit jagged in places, my curves are not smooth yet and the stitches are not even but I loved it! I had great fun and can't wait to have another go. I feel a few mug rugs coming on so I can practice some more.

For all you pillow makers, what do you put in the seams on a quilted pillow? Do you use fringe, gimp, cording, what? Where do you put your zipper? What size pillow do you use? I tried to find foam pillows and had to settle for polyester filled ones instead. I bought the 20" size, but I couldn't find the right type of zipper at the store where I was. I'm thinking about making mine closing with decorative buttons and have that side decorative as well as the front. I just can't decided if fringe in the seams is too much with the quilting or if tassels on the corners will look better. So what have you done?
