This pillow took me sooooo long to make, but it was well worth it. I am so excited with how it turned out. I had one reader ask me how I made it, so I will make a quick attempt to explain. I used polyester fabric (the slick stuff), and first cut out the squares for the pillow part. I ironed fusible interfacing to them to make the sewing much easier. Here's the time consuming part...I cut the remaining fabric into 3X4 inch squares, and melted the edges in a candle to help avoid fraying. Then, I gathered each piece and sewed them on, turning each piece different directions. I put each piece pretty close together so they could stand up. After sewing all these pieces on, I attached the front and back piece. Whew!
