Finish the Pillow Cover

Turn your pillow cover right-side-out and run a blunt object along the inside of seamlines to push out the corners and even up the edges of the pillow.

Insert the pillow form and you're finished, unless you'd like to add a little Velcro along the back opening to hold flaps together a bit tighter. Fill in corners with a little batting or fiberfill if you like corners that poof out a bit more.

Pillow Tip

My pillow cover is made from swapped quilt blocks, so their seams don't all match exactly. I placed the best matched seams on the interior of the pillow, where intersections are more visible. The seams around the outer perimeter don't all result in crisp points where triangles meet -- but the deviations aren't noticeable because our focus isn't on the sides of the pillow.
