Then, turn it right side out, and slip stitch the
opening closed, by hand... :o)...it's easy, and fun to do...a good project to take with you! |
PILLOW QUILTS... Similar, but not as puffy, and no lining needed! |
|
In pillow quilting, little pillows are made, by joining two equal sized squares, right sides together, leaving a space open to turn each right side out (about 4" squares are traditional and using different calicoes on the back squares will give you a reversible quilt!) |
|
After turning each pillow right side out, stuff lightly with the filler of your choice, cotton or polyester, and slip stitch the openings closed... |
|
The squares are then joined by butting them up next to each other and slip stitching by hand, or by machine set on a fine zigzag stitch! Neon green thread not recommended unless that is the color of your quilt! :o) |
 |
And there are two new techniques for you! This
style of quilting is a lot of fun, and a nice way for youngsters to learn to quilt too!
Little hands are great for stuffing all those small squares! Happy Quilting!!!... Marcia :o) Here're some that Barb made! and Rosalyn's Quilt A Quilt B Quilt C! |
