Birgit vs Steffi - the great Piluki battle

Today was my last day at work for the year. It's been a long week, but today was particularly nice, because I got everything done early and could go home early.
Now to start on my many holiday projects.
What to do first? I finally settled on something just for me, a piluki. I'd been wanting to make one since Birgit sent me the instructions 6 months ago, and wanted it even more after Steffi demoed it for me at the Bad Herrenalb retreat. But there was never any time - always another project, always something more urgent.
Today I said, Enough! - I'm taking my precious gift of time and giving myself something, the piluki.

But which method? Birgit put a lot of effort in the instructions, so I started with them.
Honestly, though, my poor addled brain couldn't handle the "fold this way, then fold that way, then flip and do it again in the other direction" instructions. So I turned to Steffi's instructions:

1. Make a quilt sandwich
2. Add the zipper
3. Fold the cylinder so it goes the way it's supposed to 
4. Sew the ends of the cylinder shut, being careful to open the zipper enough so you can turn it.

How did it turn out? Pretty good, even though I could have finished the lining a little more neatly.
Here are the pictures.
Who won the battle? Birgit's fabulous pics kept me on track, but Steffi's folding instructions work better for me. Ultimately, I think they make a great team. They ought to do these things together, maybe we make a video of Steffi doing the project and Birgit makes sure she does it right. Heehee.
Enjoy!
