FOLDING A QUILLOW

Quillow Tutorial

A quillow is a unique combintion of quilt and pillow.

A decorative pocket on the back of the quilt contains the folded quilt, which then becomes a QUILLOW!

Step 1

Take one corner of each end on a long side of the quilt/quillow. Fold over 1/3 of quilt/quillow lengthwise.

Step 2

Take two corners of other side, fold over 1/3 of quilt/quillow lengthwise.

Step 3

Take bottom end (end opposite of pocket on back) and fold up 1/4.

Step 4

Take bottom end and fold up another 1/4.

Step 5

Take bottom end and fold up to the last 1/4. This should give you a stacked square.

Step 6

With one hand - hold folded stack in place, while reaching into pocket on bottom of folded square with other hand.

Step 7

With hand which is inside pocket, pull an inside corner outward, turning folded stack into the pocket. This step takes a little effort, and looks a little wonky, but it works.

Step 8

Pull other inside corner out, and adjust pocket to hold quillow in pillow fashion. (It's kind of like turning your socks to make them compact.)
