First things first, what’s a quillow?
Well, it’s not just a quilt — and it’s not just a pillow. A quillow is a magical combination of a Cuddle® “quilt” with a pocket attached. Simply fold the quilt and slide it into the pocket to make a pillow!

This week our National Educator Teresa Coates heads to the final stop on her Sew Together Tuesday “On the Road” tour, where she’ll share how to make a quillow LIVE from CaliQuiltCo in Rancho Cordova, CA. It’s a fitting end to an almost year-and-a-half long tour — at the shop where the first episode was shot!
Our free quillow pattern designed by Linda White finishes at 58 inches square and tucks into a 20-inch pillow, and makes the perfect travel companion or throw for the sofa. It’s best made with Luxe Cuddle®, so choose four yards of your favorite.
Happy sewing!
