How to Make Quilted Vintage Sheet Pillows
- Start by cutting your vintage sheet into 8.5 squares. You’ll need 9 in various patterns.

- Go to town with your free motion quilting! Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the larger vintage sheet piece (the back of your pillow).
- Trim and square up your quilted patchwork piece.
- With the “wrong side” facing in, layer your patchwork piece on top of large square and pin in place.
- Sew a 1/4 inch seam around the edge of your layered pieces, leaving a 3 to 4 inch gap at the bottom for turning and stuffing your pillow.
- Turn your pillow. Stuff full of polyfil until you reach your desired firmness.
- Stitch the gap closed (like this tutorial for an almost invisible closure!)
