How to Turn a Quilt Block Into a Pillow

July 10, by Claudia Porter. Leave a Comment

So you’ve finished your favorite quilt block and it, since you didn’t have a quilt planned out, you aren’t quite sure what to do with it.  Why not transform it into a throw pillow?  This tutorial from Shiny Happy World shows you how.  And even though I absolutely love the cute monster in the author’s pillow, this method works for any quilt block in almost any size.

One thing that I find quite helpful in this tutorial are the tips along the way.  It is not difficult to make the pillow, but you want to be careful to preserve the block.  An added perk of this tutorial is that there is a link to a tutorial for making a zippered back.  I’ll be taking a look at that for sure.

Over the years I have gotten orphan quilt blocks and I have made test ones.  Many of them are sitting in a drawer just waiting to be used.  Here’s a great option.
