Tools Needed:
Materials Needed:

- Using OLFA 45mm rotary cutter with scallop blade, mat, and square ruler, cut a 12 1/2" square from each of four colors of fleece. Take care when cutting and sewing. The fabric does tend to stretch.

- Set 4 blocks of fleece in checkerboard fashion, 2 blocks on top, 2 blocks on the bottom. Stitch together using a 1/2" seam allowance and a stretch or zig-zag stitch. You may also serge the squares together using a flatlock stitch for a decorative look.
- With wrong sides together, stitch fron pillow panel to back using a 2 1/2" seam allowance, yes, a 2 1/2" seam allowance. Leave an 8" opening on one side for stuffing.
- Fringe outer flanges of pillow using a scallop blade on your OLFA 45mm rotary cutter and 6 1/2" ruler. Space fringe cuts approximately 1/4" apart, being careful not to cut through stitching.
- Stuff pillow with Poly-fil™ or pillow form. Stitch opening closed. Toss and enjoy!
