The Castle Pillow is the new FREE quilt pattern in the Sew Solid series by the Fat Quarter Shop.
And honestly, isn’t it just the cutest cushion ever! I have to admit I’ve got a bit of a thing for anything Princessy, not that I go around wearing crowns or tiara’s (well not everyday anyway!). I just can’t resist anything remotely Princess themed for little people and this cushion was no exception.
Rather than using solids I opted to sew this version with small polka dot prints. The bird print from Wee Wander was a last minute decision I’m really happy with!
The pattern from The Fat Quarter Shop is super simple to follow. There are diagrams for each step and a video tutorial to watch as well. I had my 20″ x 20″ cushion top done in one evening and then quilted it with straight lines 3⁄4″ apart before adding the back and binding the next day. For more details just follow the links below…

Definitely Queen!!
The Queen since my 11 year old grandson would find it too infantile. Hmmmm,if I could do a variation and make it mine crafty somehow then it would work.
Hard decision, but think I would pick king!
The Queen size
The Queen version.
Queen would be my choice! Such a cute pattern!
I love the polka-dots! I think I’d have to go with the king…but might have to add a knight somehow…
I would pick the queen version. Your pillow is so cute. I love the fabrics you used and your fussy cut princess in the tower! Thanks to you and the FQS for the fun giveaway.
I’d like that Queen pillow, Peta. And this pillow of yours with that adorable little princess in the doorway–just too precious 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
The Queen! I am sure a few of my grand daughter would love to have this pillow. Thanks!
The queen! My daughter would love it!
If I had to choose I guess it would be a qeeen — but I think more likely I would make it in gender neutral colors that were more castle-like. My kids love all things castle and knight.
I love your fabric choices for this pillow. It is very pretty. I would choose the queen pillow for my youngest granddaughter and my two great nieces.
I love the birds in the sky. Great fabric pull.
My choice would be the Queen pillow kit. These are just adorable and I prefer yours in print fabrics. Love, love, love!
It would have to be the queen pillow pattern, my daughter loves all things Disney princess and she would love this pillow.
Much as I love your princessy version, I’d go for the King.
I would choose Queen so that I can make someone “Queen for a day”! Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
I love both kits but I know a little boy that would love the king version. I like the idea of a knight incorporated as well. Too cute!
I’d choose the Queen, as my good friend just became a first-time grandmama to a darling baby girl, so I’d make it for her.
Your pillow is so pretty — and I would choose the King to make for my new nephew.
I have to pick Queen for the little princess in my life.
I would have to pick Queen, my co-worker would love it.
I would pick the King as blue is my favourite colour . Both are very cute x

Hi there Peta,
I’d choose the King version!
I had a look at your new pattern Australia and think I might give it a try as it looks do-able in all scrappiness!
Thanks!

Both are wonderful, but I’d choose the Queen version for my adorable niece who loves to pretend she is a princess!

I like the bird fabric too for the sky too!
I’d pick the king castle.

I’m currently working on a Quilt using “Princess Life” Fabrics. I’m making it for my daughters best friend. Her birthday is in April. I would totally use this Pillow pattern in Queen size, to top off the perfect Princess bedding gift!! 😀
