One of the hottest quilted items right now is pillows. Ideas for pillows can come from a room in the recipient’s house, their favorite pet or just something fun! Quilted pillows don’t take a lot of time and they are a great way to try new quilting techniques on a small scale to see if you want to try it on a large quilt. Once you make one, you won’t be able to stop!
