No ordinary pillow!

I found this pattern online here (although I modified it a bit) and thought it was a fabulous idea.  I could use fabrics I already had on hand, and it was super easy!  I put this together from start to finish in less than an hour.  I used a 12x12 pillow insert purchased from Joannes with a 40% off coupon for about $7.00.  Voila!  One present down, 100 to go. This is the view of the back.  I used a decorative stitch on my machine on both edges of the envelope enclosure.  In hind sight, I probably should have done just the outside edge.  I didn't realize it would show through until I had it put together.  No harm, no foul!
