Finish
- Sew 2 semicircles to each square as pictured, using a flat or invisible seam. (Flat seam is worked by placing pieces flat, edges together, and sewing back and forth so that there is no ridge or bulk at the join.)
I find that having row 1 of the square at the top makes the rows go together more attractively. - Sew side pieces together as pictured, sewing slightly in from edges rather than at them to make ridged seams.
- With wrong sides together, whipstitch edges together to sew front to sides.
- Sew back to side the same way as front, pausing three-quarters of the way around to stuff pillow. Finish seaming, weave ends.
