We needed more storage for the boy’s board games, so I sifted through our hall closet and got rid of pillows, blankets, and anything we weren’t using.  I found a pillow insert that I thought would be perfect for a Wonky Star Christmas Pillow.  It measured 19″ X 13″.  So, my quilted pillow top is 20″ X 14″.  I prefer to stitched the front & back of the pillow together with a 1/2″ inseam  for added strength.  That’s why I’ve added an inch as opposed to 1/2″.  The directions for the wonky star are here.

20″ X 14″ Quilted Pillow Top

20″ X 14″ Overlapped Back

When you sew the back panels onto the quilted top, you’ll have them facing each other.  You can see that I don’t fold the individual panels completely over to one side, this is to save fabric.  Just surge the unfinished edge and call it a day.  Sew the two overlapped panels on with a 1/2″ inseam.  Then, surge the edges to prevent fraying.  If you don’t have a surger, zig-zag stitch as I have.  Carefully, trim off the four corners.  Flip over and hope your pillow insert fits!

I’m being stalked today.  Apparently, Chubby wants to be photographed too!

Happy Stitching All!
