The ever popular Quillow or Magic Pillow is a very versatile quilt. Usually handmade in a wide variety of fabrics it is about 45" wide by 72" long. It will fit the top of a twin bed.
The unique feature of this Quillow is that it folds into an 18" x 18" pillow for storage, decorating or travel.
An 18" block of material, usually an accent piece is attached to the bottom end of the quillow. The quillow is then held up lengthwise and folded into thirds with the center third having the pillow or 18" piece of fabric there.
Then fold it in half lengthwise and in half again, having the extra fabric piece on one side and the folds on the other. Reach your hand into the pillow and grab hold of the quilt, all thickness, then turn the extra fabric piece inside out and push out corners and there! you have an 18" square pillow.
If you are tired of the traveling blankets being all bunched up or getting dragged out of the car, this is for you. It make the perfect lap robe when traveling or watching tv, and the pillow pocket is great for cold feet.
It may sound confusing, but with a little practice this quilt will indeed turn into a Magic pillow!
