Have you been following the Puff Quilt tutorial but don’t feel up to the challenge? You can start with this little half-hour project!

| Front |
 |
| Back |
 |
| Step 1: Piece together 9 puffs, as per the Puff Quilt instructions |
 |
| Step 2: Cut out a coordinating square of fabric, the same size as the pillow top |
 |
| Step 3: Lay the right sides together |
 |
| Step 4: Pin the sides together |
 |
| Step 5: Sew all around, making sure to envelop the existing seams |
 |
| Step 6: Leave a small opening for you to turn it inside out |
 |
| Step 7: Turn it inside out, poke out the corners real good |
 |
| Step 8: Fill the pillow with poly-fill (the same stuff you use to fill the puffs |
 |
| Step 9: Fold the raw edges of the opening under and pin shut |
 |
| Step 10: Whip stitch shut by hand |
 |
| Step 11: Can barely see it! |

| The pillow so far…you can leave it like this. But I decided to… |

| …tack down the corners of the puffs. I just did this with embroidery thread: knotting on top, sew a few stitches up and down, knot again. |
You can make this pillow bigger by adding more puffs; this project was super easy! After making it…I wondering if it would look the exact same if I had just pieced squares together in the traditional way…
Hi! I'm Heidi and welcome to Honeybear Lane! Stay awhile and check out my craft, sewing, and home decor projects. And visit the Honeybear Lane Shop for puff quilts and other goodies! 
just adorable! I don't think it would've looked the same just piecing the squares together instead of making them puffy. You wouldn't see the distinct squares of the puffs. Did that make sense?? It's early…
I'm planning on making one of these puff quilts. Just need to figure out what material I want to use. I don't have a baby (or know anyone that has one) but they're just too darn cute and I want one!!! I'm sure my 8 yr old daughter would love to have one so maybe I'll give it to her
I love this! But I have a question: what happens if you need to *wash* these puffy things? Does the poly fill get all bunched up? How do you do that?
i’d like to know as well.
I do love the way this little pillow looks. And I like that the project is small and I feel like I could accomplish this. Maybe I'll give this a try and if all goes well, try the quilt!
this is a great idea. i have a few charms left over from a baby quilt, they'd be perfect for this!
I think this would also would be really cute if you just sewed the front and back wrong sides together, and bade coordinating bias tape to "bind"it. Hmmmm, I think I'm going to try that
I’m so going to make one of these… can you make a tutorial on how to make an actual quilt, or is it the same thing with more puffs?
Hi Jo! Thanks! I have made a puff quilt tutorial that is available for purchase in my shop (click ‘my shop’ on the menu bar to visit)
