X-factor pillow received - Circle squared

Earlier this week  I received a parcel from Lisa (Incorgiable2) all the way from Canada, which contained an amazing pillow from the X-Factor pillow swap.


This pillow is called "Circle-Squared" and Lisa has used some tiny squares of pretty green, aqua and blue-grey fabrics in the centre patchworked piece.

It is quilted it in a grid pattern which really compliments the whole design. I love the texty print and dotty binding too. 

And the cute typewriters that are on the back remind me of my school days doing typing in class - a subject I took little knowing how handy it would come in now that we use keyboards all the time! I used to type up school/uni assignments on a typewriter just like these ones with a bottle of liquid paper at my side to correct typos. 
These are my swap pillows all on our bed - they really do look fabulous together I think!
