I have a different quilt for my dining table for each month of the year. I also rotate the quilts on the back of the couch. I also have a small lumbar pillow on the red orange side chair. I have made pillow covers for that too.
I only had about two or three, and I decided I had to make some that would relate to the quilts on the couch. So these fabrics represent these quilts: (Counterclockwise from the top) Kangamangus, the Pink Panther, Nightingale #3, Carnelian, Peppermint Twirl, Golden Zebra and the Needle in a Haystack.
The pillow is pretty easy to make, it's a long rectangle of fabric 11" x 39" and I had to hem the short ends over.
I cut notches in one of my business cards so I wouldn't have to use a ruler.
After hemming the short ends, the fabric folds over and the long sides are sewn together. There are no zippers or fastenings in this pillow.
After turning the pillow inside out, it looks like this. You can see the opening in the photo above.
Here are the eight pillows I made. I added the green pillow cover at the lower left. I'll use this when I set out the quilt with the birds on the light green backgrounds.

J’utilise aussi un carton cranté ,à la dimension voulue . C'est une très vieille méthode.......économique !
