Knife edged, this cotton velvet pillow features hand guided machine embroidery in a tonal thread color. The quilting pattern is inspired by a leaf or the historic "orange peel" quilting pattern from Early American hand quilting patterns. The soft forms of this pattern and the geometry of it make this pillow a wonderful addition to any crafted space or space styled with found articles and objects- all our favorite The pillow's back is a solid coordinating back with a hidden zipper closure for ease of fill. Remember when laundering velvet, even cotton velvet, it is always suggested to turn it inside out to wash gently. Ironing FROM the back with low to medium heat prevents the flattening of this gorgeous cotton velvet nap.
