Presenting Easy Quilted Pillows for Your Home

Dear Quilting Superstar,

Throw pillows make everything cheerier. In Easy Quilted Pillows for Your Home from We Like Quilting, you’ll find an inspiring variety of easy quilted pillow patterns to help brighten your home.

Whether you’re looking for a beginner-friendly quilting project, a creative way to use your fabric scraps, or a decorative pillow to add color and personality to your sofa or favorite chair, this collection has plenty of ideas to get you started.

Take another look at your scrap stash. If it’s anything like mine, it’s probably quite sizable. Imagine creating your own unique fabric with small scraps from your stash using the technique of crumb quilting. Quilters from beginner through advanced can use this technique to create one-of-a-kind fabric with even the tiniest pieces of leftover fabric.

Make our Ultimate Scrapbuster Crumb Quilt Pillow for yourself, or choose a friend’s favorite colors and patterns and make a customized pillow they’ll cherish.

This project gives you a great way to use up those random quarters and small scraps to create something uniquely your own. It’s also a fun scrap quilting project for beginners because there’s no need to worry about matching every piece perfectly. Keep this project on your To-Do list and know that you always have a way to put those scraps to good use!

We can’t really have too many throw pillows, can we? OK, maybe there’s a limit somewhere, so you might want to pick and choose which throw pillows make the cut. Well, you can’t go wrong with a one-of-a-kind pillow you create with our Floral Splendor Quilted Throw Pillow pattern. This is another great scrap-friendly quilted pillow project.

Create this pillow your own way with your choice of colors. The combination of floral shapes with geometric motifs in a diamond pattern will make this new pillow your favorite.

Use fat quarters to create this pillow using both quilting and applique techniques to expand or build on your skill set. Add your own embroidery details to give the pillow some extra texture, and you have a charming throw pillow for your sofa. You may even want to make a pair!

If you like classic quilt blocks, you’re going to love our Silver Lining Square-in-a-Square Pillow Sham. This timeless traditional quilt block makes a great minimalist-chic statement. This is a terrific quilted pillow sham pattern for a spot where you need just a little something stylish yet understated.

Looking for a pillow quilting project with a chic country feel? Make this Up and Down Pillow pattern. The pillow pattern is a series of beginner-friendly half-square triangles that come together in an energetic group of colorful chevrons.

Use our suggested colors or pick from your own color palette! Chances are, you’ll want to make more than one of these. A pair of coordinating quilted pillows can be an easy way to bring color and pattern together in a room.

Every quilter has to start somewhere with quilting. What better way to start than by repurposing a couple of T-shirts into a quilt or quilted pillow? Our How to Make a T-Shirt Quilt Pillow provides all the steps you need to make a cozy T-shirt quilt or pillow.

You provide the T-shirts; we’ll provide the guidance. This is just the project to try if you want to explore quilting, learn how to turn meaningful clothing into a keepsake, or help out a budding quilter.

From scrap quilt pillows and traditional quilt blocks to applique, half-square triangles, and T-shirt projects, our Easy Quilted Pillows for Your Home has plenty of variety in design, color, technique, and complexity.

So, where will you start?

Frequently Asked Questions About Quilted Pillows

What are some easy quilted pillow patterns for beginners?

Quilted pillows are a great starting point for new quilters because they are smaller projects than full-size quilts. Beginner-friendly options include simple patchwork, half-square triangle, and scrap-friendly pillow designs.

What can I make with small quilting scraps?

Small quilting scraps are perfect for projects like crumb quilt pillows, patchwork pillows, and other scrappy quilted home décor. Our Ultimate Scrapbuster Crumb Quilt Pillow is a fun way to turn leftover fabric pieces into a one-of-a-kind design.

How do you make a quilted pillow?

A quilted pillow typically starts with a pieced or appliquéd quilt top. The top is then layered with batting and backing and quilted before being assembled into a pillow cover. Depending on the pattern, the pillow can have an envelope-style back, zipper, or another closure.

What quilting techniques can you use to make a pillow?

There are plenty of techniques you can explore when making quilted pillows, including traditional piecing, half-square triangles, applique, crumb quilting, and embroidery. A pillow-sized project is a great way to practice a new technique without committing to a full quilt.

Are quilted pillows good projects for using fat quarters?

Yes! Fat quarters are useful for many quilted pillow projects, especially designs that combine multiple colors and prints. They also make it easy to build a coordinated color palette without purchasing large amounts of fabric.
