After dabbling in pillow coverings with the Indianapolis Colts pillows, I really wanted to make a body pillow for myself. I decided to use fabric scraps from all of the past quilts I have made. My original idea was to use the squares in their original size, so I wouldn't have to cut as much, but configuring a pattern was a lot more involved than I was planning. So, I decided to cut the scraps to the same size squares and go from there.
The body pillow cover took a lot longer to make than I thought it would. I had to do a lot more cutting, plus I just didn't have the time or energy to do much work on it during the summer. I am so glad it is finished, though. It looks even better than I thought it would and it is so cool to see the fabrics I used in the quilts I made. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
