Step 1

Cut 2 pieces 3" x 14 ½" from sashing fabricCut 2 pieces 2 ½" x 30 ½" from sashing fabric

Step 2

Cut 1 piece 14 ½" x WOF (width of fabric) from pillow backing fabric. Cut this piece in half so that it is approx 14 ½" x 21" leaving the selvage edges attached.

Step 3

Sew the 3 quilt blocks together in a row.

Step 4

Sew one of the 2 ½" x 30 ½" pieces of sashing fabric to the top of the blocks.

Step 5

Sew the other 2 ½" x 30 ½" piece of sashing fabric to the bottom of the blocks. Press the seams to one side.

Step 6

Sew one 3" x 14 ½" piece of sashing fabric to each side of the sewn pieces.

Step 7

If desired quilt the blocks. If you are quilting the blocks I recommend creating a "quilt sandwich" with the quilted blocks & cotton batting with scrap fabric on the back. You can easily quilt this size pillow on a home sewing machine.If you do not wish to quilt your pillow front, press the fusible fleece onto the wrong side of the sewn quilt blocks according to the package directions.

Step 8

Hem the edge of the pillow back pieces by turning under the selvage edge of both of the 14 ½" x 21" pieces ½" and press. Stitch in place.

Step 9

Place one of the pillow back pieces on top of the quilted pillow front piece right sides facing. Pin in place. Place the other pillow back piece on top of this. The pieces will overlap.

Step 10

Stitch around the perimeter of the pillow using a ½" seam allowance.

Step 11

Turn right side out and insert the pillow form.
