The only difference in mine is that I use 11" x WoF for the bottom band. I have made many as gifts, since they go together so quickly and people really seem to love receiving them.

Just wanted to include the APQ Million Pillowcase Challenge link. You donate to your own local charity, but log the quantities donated on apq's site. With the generosity of quilters, I'm sure these will add up quickly. :-) http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases/index.html Fabric we love is fun to use for pillowcases! Hi Judy!

We also found this method of making the cases and use it all the time. My husband and I initially donated the $100 inventory of fun prints for the cases and coordinating borders and each time one of the group pulls from the pillowcase inventory they pay $2.25 - that way we always have money to replenish the fabric. Our group meets bi-weekly and we start the day making a pillowcase to donate. They add up quickly.

My mom is in a nursing home and I never know what to give her. I will make some and hope they brighten her day a little. Thank you for the pillowcase idea.

I found the instructions at the ConKerr site confusing. Now I understand the "hot dog in the bun" or the "sausage" method. Great tutorial. I found the instructions at the ConKerr site confusing.
