Amy's Quillo

This is 1 of 9 Quillo's I made in 2011...

 Above is the quillo itself - Amy's favourite colours are bright pink, purple and lime green - sounds about right for a bright and sparkly 16 year old, doesn't it - so I was thrilled when I found this range of fabrics that absolutely ticked all the right boxes.

... and this is the "pillow" part of the quillo. It's a pocket on the reverse side that the quilt folds into, to create a cushion or pillow - hence the name 'quillo'. The block itself is called "a 10-minute block" and the name is correct, because you can make each block in 10 minutes, then you have to stitch them together and do all the other things necessary to complete the project. The 'pillow' is one block!
