you’re free to apply this technique not just for pillow covers; but to other quilts too.
Watch the video tutorial below to learn this.
(Fabric is from IDYLLIC collection & assorted scraps.)
Next, stitch together to make 21 1/2 x 8 (54.6cm x 20cm) rectangle.
Press the seam allowances to the wrong side of the fabric.
Sub-cut the rectangle to (4) 2 x 21 1/2(5 x 54.6cm) long strips.
Repeat it for the fourth patchwork rectangle.
Now, you have 14 rows of 2 x 21 1/2 patchwork strips.
Sew together all the rows to make 21 1/2 patchwork square.
Layer 22 1/2 x 22 1/2 (57cm) cotton batting and patchwork on top.
Draw a guideline for the quilting.
Set a walking foot and stitch length 3.0.
(Quilt along the guideline.)
Press to remove the marks (if you used a frixion pen, it will disappear with heat.)
Trim pillow top to 21 1/2(54.6cm) square.
With the right side up, place patchwork on your table and then layer a small rectangle on top.
Layer the big rectangle, overlapping folded edges about 4 (10cm).
Next, stitch through the layers all the way around.
Stitch across overlaps again on side edges for strength.
Do a zigzag stitch all the way around the raw edges.
Now, turn the pillow cover inside out and its finished.
