BOHO CHIC

Bohemian Chic seems to be trending right now as a decorating style. 

 My granddaughter tends toward that vibe, so I decided to make some Boho Chic pillows to give her on her 19th birthday.

 I used the sew and flip method in sections with fleece as a foundation.

Then I added ribbon and applique embellishment with lots of machine embroidery.

The colors aren't my usual quilting palette.  But, I did use up a spool of orange thread for embroidery that I must have had since it was popular the first time around in the 1970s!

Do you suppose the popularity of this look with the young ones is because most of the posts on Pinterest include an unruly, unmade bed? 
It sure reminds me of the flower child/hippie era in the middle 1960s.  I'm not sure I'm ready to revisit that in my own home decor.

However, it was a fun project that was a change from my normal quilting activity.

Happy Birthday to our granddaughter and her quirky, Bohemian style!

P.S.:  The pillows were a big hit --
