There is such a cute tutorial over at Kelly's My Quilt Infatuation:
Home State Pillow. Since Alabama is my home state, here is the completed pillow. The state and heart are machine-stitched zig-zag and the "home" appliqué is raw-edge machine stitched. The front is quilted and machine-stitched with allover meandering. There is black piping trim around the edges. The fabrics are 100% cotton scraps. This pillow finishes at 18" X 18 1/2", as Alabama is kinda vertical shaped. To see the back of the pillow, please continue reading.

Here is the back of my Home State Alabama pillow. The opening is an envelope-style for ease in adding the pillow form. Although not a favorite, I guess the black and white zebra print works for this project, lol. Have you made a home state pillow yet?

Your pillow turned out great! i live in Alabama also and was wondering what the state of Alabama would look like :) now i must make one - or a few.
Thank you Linda. I struggled a bit with AL being vertical-shaped, but it turned out OK. 'Hoping you make an AL pillow also.
