Hi Quilting friends! I’m excited to share my Echo Pillow (featuring the Echo Quilt Pattern) with the magical Fairy Dust Collection designed by Ashley Collett.

The Fairy Dust Collection is full or unicorns, fairies, floral prints, and rainbows ... it's just so lovely!

I love sewing one block from a quilt pattern and making a pillow! This is a great way to "sample" the quilt and your fabric selection.

I chose to use the Echo Quilt Pattern as I was able to use 5 different Fairy Dust prints plus fussy cut the Unicorn for the block center!

Add a border:
The Echo Quilt Block finishes at 12" x 12" so I simply cut my outer borders strips 3.5" wide to create the 18.5" x 18.5" pillow. I really love the softness the added border creates.
  • Outer Border strips cut sizes:  (2) strips 3.5" x 12.5" and (2) strips 3.5" x 18.5"

I love to add a zipper to my pillow covers for easy removal for washing! Check out my tutorial here

Choosing to add the zipper to the bottom of the pillow cover creates a reversible pillow! Plus this is a quick option for finishing your pillow! Check out my tutorial here
