You never say what size to measure your back 2 pieces that you make your finished edges on. So for instance the 18 x 18 pillow you cut the front 19 x 19 one inch around for seam allowances. So what are the measurements on the back 2 pieces?

Back Piece and Overlap – There needs to be 6-8 inches added to the measurements for the overlap. For example if you have a pillow form 17 x 17 then take 17+6 = 23 or 17+8 = 25. Divide that number by 2. So the back pieces will each be either 17 x 11.5 or 17 x 12.5. Add an inche for the seam allowance so the back flaps would be 18 x 11.5 or 18 x 12.5. These numbers are flexible because the overlap is forgiving and each person may have different amounts of fabric.
