This is without a doubt the nicest way to make a quillow. The way it is fully enclosed gives a more "finished" appearance. Clear, concise, easy to follow video. By overlapping the "flaps" a few inches helps close the gap. No more loosing the quilts storage bag! Thank you so much💝
I did it! 🤸🏽♀️It turned out great! 🥰 the only adjustment I made was to overlap the opening in the back of the quillow about 4 inches so the blanket doesn't peek through. So glad I picked this tutorial to follow! Thank you Laura!😍
It is incredible how extraordinary and likewise easy to realize your projects are. We all are so happy that we found you. Thanks a lot, God bless you. Greetings from Germany.
I like this idea that when it is finished you have the quilting on both sides! Very ingenious. I work in a Cancer Center where the patients are all so cold. Perhaps this is a gift that would make them feel better and keep them warm. I know I am watching my husband fight small cell lung Cancer! Little things mean a lot to the Cancer Patients! Thanks again for sharing!
Yes I agree. I think we all know someone that has had to fight Cancer and they are always cold. I have make Cancer quilts too but this would be a great way for them to travel with them..Thanks for the idea,and keep up the great work.
I want to say thank you for replying to this. Now I know I want to do this. I have tons of fleece donated to me and now I know what to do with it all. Thank you so much. Go figure one fabric. OMG I am in heaven. I have tons of North Face Fabric and needed to make my son a Motor Cycle Blanket so now I know I will do this and add straps so he can atach to MC.
I have seen a quillow done is a few different ways. This one is the best and easiest way by far. Thank you for this tutorial, I also will be making these with fleese for gifts. By the way I have to tell you that your hair is absolutely stunning, Just love the color.
Your Welcome,have fun making them! Also thank you for the compliment! I stopped coloring it, so now it is my natural color "white sort of grey" Thanks again and have a great day
I’ve never heard of Quillows before, this is so neat! I love it. I also love your beautiful hair, measuring tape bracelets & that wonderful black & white quilt behind you!
Thank you so much for this video! I haven't sewn a stitch since high school 15 years ago! I'm a knitter myself and seeking inspiration for a quillow for my nephew due in a couple months! This tutorial makes it look so fun and easy I may just take up sewing again!! I love how this method keeps it much cleaner than other designs!
Hi - just thought I'd mention that I added about eight inches or so to the longest length and overlapped them rather than making them just meet. It made a nice closed envelope. First thing I've made since breaking my ankle. I really enjoy your videos (I live in N.Ireland)
Your such a great teacher or instructor. I really enjoy your tutorials. I've made your triangle pillow and now I'm gonna try this quillow. Thank you sew very much!
Fabulous! Just finished my first one but there will be more to come. I overlapped the flaps about an inch and there is room for some velcro to keep it closed in back. SOOO CUTE! Thank you very much!
Oh i love your way of doing quillow so much, very clear tutorial, i will try it on my baby's fleece blanket--we got a lot as gift, and i think this is a good way to upcycle them! Thanks so much!
+diana diamond Thanks, so glad you like the video and the bangles you can buy here shop.shannonpassero.com/ultimate-closet/jewelry-shop/measured-bangle-set.html
Really liked this simple way of making the quillow . This will be my first one and hope to enjoy making it. expecting our second grand child . will make lovely Christmas presents. {zimbabwe}
I live in UK and it always cold hire I become cover of soft cussing and blankets this will be great idea for compact all blankets and change them for easy storage as my house is very small and my dog like mess with them when I am not home hahaha and they can easel can be stored in kids room as floor pillow for reading books on floor if blanket is enough big ... I love your ideas no zippers no fancy pansy tricks and useful and practical
Wow! This is just what I needed to see, I have eight grandchildren each with their blanket at Nannys house. So guess what I'm making in my half term? Thank you so much. Maureen Pue I love you tip too 😀
Awesome idea,I have never heard that term before.I might have to try this. This would be a great idea for baby and children's blankets in the car to travel with.
I love this, thank you for sharing your talents... been looking for this tutorial for a long time. Your tutorial was easy to follow and understand and I look forward to making these for all my grand-babies :)
I have watched various other tutorials on how to make something similar to this but none of them were nearly as detailed as this! Really wanting to try this, great video 😄
I'm going to make some of these in pink for Valentines Day gifts! Thank you for your great ideas. I just recently found you and you've inspired me to get my sewing machine out and my trips to the fabric store have been such fun. Thanks again! Xoxo rainey
love the quillow tutorial, great idea for the grands Christmas gifts, could not take my eyes off the black and white quilt behind you, I'm searching for it on your You tube channel, love it also!
I love it! So many times I just search for project suggestions on UA-cam and I find ideas on your channel. Someone gave me a soft blanket that they didn’t like because, while it’s cozy, it’s so soft it’s messy. Now I’ll just adapt and disguise it as a throw pillow until needed. Thank you - again. (Hmm. Wonder if they’ll want it back. )
I love this quillow style so much that I've subscribed to your channel . I'm going to make a couple of these for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the video and I look forward to more of your tutorials in the future. Merry Christmas!
Not just a great idea for gift giving, but a great way to store extra blankets for guests, that double as throw pillows! I'd add snaps, buttons or ties to close it better. Right now I keep those extra blankets in the plastic zippered bags in the closet where they're taking up a good portion of my shelf. 😜
i made a quillow in middle school for home ech and i loved it but it was'nt a full sized blanket now that i'm in college i kinda want to make a new one thats soft but then has the cotton quilt pillowcase and folds flat like a pillow . this tutorial was great!
Thank you for a great tutorial. It would be wonderful to have the fabric measurements and requirements listed below so those can be prepared to follow along with your instructions.
I like your way of doing this so much better than others I've seen. Thank you for your tutorial. I think that when I make one I might make the ends of the pillowcase overlap by a few inches so it is completely closed rather than gaping open so perhaps the recipient could stash extras inside with the blanket like toys or books and they won't fall out.
I think it is impossible for me to do because of my disabilities...I would love to learn some day. This is now a bucket list goal of mine. I would love an owl and lighthouse one.
And the slightly open flaps on the back mean either pj's or a fave cuddly toy could be kept in there too. I love it. My daughter is new to sewing (I got her a sewing machine for xmas) so I might suggest making one together. Thanks Laura. Always concise instructions in your videos. Do you do a video for making a baby changing/diaper bag?
Best quillow ever! I'm wondering if you can suggest a closure for the back of the quillow so it fits tighter and can be displayed on the back side too.
Laura- I’ve known what a quillow is but have not made one. Perhaps you could show another one by making the quilt style! I do like the fleece idea and Thank you. I always enjoy your videos ❤️😀
I enjoyed your way of teaching how to make this. So easy and simple to understand and I also like that it is a bit different than the rest out there. I have lots of full size sheets and blankets and the way you show to do it make it pretty easy which is so appreciated. I did add a bit more to the one side of where the two materials meet to it folded in nicely like a pillow sham. But I do have a question for you. I want to make and sell these do I need to get your permission to use your instructions? Thanks. :)
Oh my Gosh! For some reason this video came up from 2024 (away before I started quilting) and I’m in love with the black and white quilt on the wall. Could you share pattern details please?
loved this video..... and done just about the same for my granddaughters memory quilt......thankyou......would include a photo, but unfortunately I can't
I LUV YOU!!! Thank-You for Helping Me make my 1st Quillow.... I've been waiting for a SEW EZ Tutorial of making one. It came out GR8! I made the pillow case it a bit longer than yours so I could overlap the pillowcase in the middle/center. I can't wait to see the face of the person I'm giving it to for X-Mas. Thank-U SEW MUCH!! ~Merry X-Mas~ TFS :O)
Have you thought about making the flap edge wider and putting a zipper in so that the blanket is completely covered by the pillow to keep the blanket cleaner?
What a great project! Two questions: What type of fleece did you use? (It looks so soft and cozy.) Where did you get your bracelets? They are fabulous.
Mary R It was just regular fleece, I know it looks soft and cozy, I think it was the colour that made it look that way. The bracelet...little shop..not getting more in:( sorry. Thanks for watching
I love this video . you made it look so easy. I also love the quilt that is hanging on the wall. Is there a pattern for this? and also like the fabric you used. can you tell me what fabric was used?
Love this video. I am making several for Christmas. One problem I have is one of my blankets when folded is very large (25 x 29). Can it be folded smaller and still work out?
Thank you for showing this super idea, I would like to patchwork my front part of the quillow. Some of the squares I have are printed with animals, could you tell me which way they should face so that they won't be upside down or sideways on the finished article?
The good side should face the inside when laying it out. However I would recommend that you pin it then flip it out and test it. I often do this just to make sure. thanks for watching
I made one for my daughter with fleece 25 years ago :). She love it and use the pocket for her feet when she covered herself with the blanket.

great it would be perfect for this:) straps are a great idea
I can see this made smaller and taken on a flight. Perfect for children and adults alike.

I LUV YOU!!! Thank-You for Helping Me make my 1st Quillow.... I've been waiting for a SEW EZ Tutorial of making one. It came out GR8! I made the pillow case it a bit longer than yours so I could overlap the pillowcase in the middle/center. I can't wait to see the face of the person I'm giving it to for X-Mas. Thank-U SEW MUCH!! ~Merry X-Mas~ TFS :O)
+lacsa727 Good for you, I like the idea of the over lap:) Thank you and have a Merry Christmas
Have you thought about making the flap edge wider and putting a zipper in so that the blanket is completely covered by the pillow to keep the blanket cleaner?
Hmm. I’m thinking of just making the sides overlap a bit. May a few inches to cover.
I love il !! Fantastic. God bless you!
thanks and to you:)
So cute and very good job, thank you so much.
Your welcome Lidia, have a great day sewing:)
I love the quilt behind you is there a video for it?
Wow this is like magic😁
What a great project! Two questions: What type of fleece did you use? (It looks so soft and cozy.) Where did you get your bracelets? They are fabulous.
Mary R It was just regular fleece, I know it looks soft and cozy, I think it was the colour that made it look that way. The bracelet...little shop..not getting more in:( sorry. Thanks for watching

yes, you can just push it in and will just look like a really full pillow
Love the pig fabric.

Just such a clever easy way to make a quillow! I was wondering how to close the raw edge so it looks nice when you open up the blanket?
