Hi Gifted Crafters! In this Morning Show, I’m taking a quilt top I already pieced and turning it into a cozy, beginner-friendly envelope pillow cover. This is one of my favorite budget projects because it lets you repurpose what you’ve already made—quilt blocks, a small quilt top, or even a “practice” top—into home décor you can actually use (or gift to someone special). I walk you through the process from “finished top” to “finished pillow,” keeping it simple and doable. I also share a little of the backstory on this quilt top—how I designed it in EQ8, chose my fabrics, and pieced it on my Janome straight stitch machine (y’all know her as Ms. Molly). If you’ve been wanting to use your quilt tops for more than just quilts, this is a great next step: clean finishes, functional results, and no zipper stress. My big takeaway is: don’t overthink it—an envelope back is forgiving, practical, and perfect for beginners who want a polished look without extra hardware.
