Quilted pillows are made of different materials. Quilting all over the surface is visually appealing. Silk is used as a casing for a rich look and then quilted fabric is attached to it. Checked quilted look is especially popular among standard designs of quilted pillows. Rotary cutters are used to cut the fabric of the casing and a quilted appearance is obtained by stitching the seams. Pillows can be made in a combination of two colors such as white and blue. One of the colors is lighter and the dark color creates a stunning background. Stripes of lighter colors can be cut out and stitched to a triangular darker shade. Designs such as heart can be cut out and stitched to the background.
Hawaiian quilted pillows are known for using hand made dyes to color the casing. The zippers in Hawaiian pillows are generally hidden towards the seams. Floral designs are characteristic to this place and theses quilted pillows are designed in bright colors.

Cost of these pillows depends upon the fabric and intricacy of design. Hand made quilted pillows are costlier as the time taken to make them is much longer than machine made pillows.
