Create a Pretty Pillow Cover in a Favorite Color
| February 9, 2025 | Pillows, Shams and Pillowcases
A Multi-Color Combination Will Be Beautiful Too!
Pretty patchwork in a “Trip Around the World” design makes a lovely pillow cover that will be beautiful in any color theme. Make it up in your favorite color or mix things up with a combination of colors against a light or dark background (in this case, white low-volume prints).
Hand quilting with Perle cotton provides a charming finishing accent that adds to the pillow’s appeal. A zippered back makes it easy to remove the cover for washing.
The pillow cover designed by Jo from Thimbles and Needles is 25.5″ x 25.5″ and fits a 26″ square European pillow insert. There’s a good selection of pillow inserts in a wide price range here, or you can make your own with the instructions found here.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
