Summer Floral Quilted Pillow | Bear Paw Patchwork Throw Cushion
Summer Floral Quilted Pillow | Bear Paw Patchwork Throw Cushion
Truly one-of-a-kind, these scrappy bear paw quilted pillows have custom quilting that adds pretty texture and a unique plush look. Quality cotton fabrics are floral themed in beautiful summer colors.
The price listed is for one pillow. Yes, there are two available, as shown in the photos. They are coordinating but not identical, as the placement of fabrics and color differ between them. Notice one photo shows the pillows labeled A and B; so that you can differentiate between them. Choose A or B or save on the set.
This quilted pillow cover is sized for a 14 inch (36 cm) square pillow form. You will have the the option to purchase the cover only or to include the form.
When you choose to purchase the pillow form, you will receive a polyester filled, individually compressed form, in the appropriate size. The compression simply allows for less bulk when shipping. They will fluff up instantly, once you open the bag.
Pillows are a great way to decorate your room for the seasons and give your room a whole new personality!
Simple overlapping back makes for easy care.
Quilts come packaged with care instructions.
Quilting is done by freemotion, which is a hand guided machine stitching technique, not computer. This means that your quilt will always be one of a kind as the artistry of the stitching is unique to each piece.
Notice that a few of the photos show other coordinating quilts that are listed separately.
Features
Features
I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
