Checkered Past Wall Art measured from the top middle

measured from the top middle of the strap to the body of the bag

which I always love to find

I kept the patchwork and repairs visible and reinforced everything so it can continue to be worn

Checkered Past Wall Art measured from the top middleCheckered Past is a pillow I made from antique Japanese katazome fabric with an indigo dyed checkerboard pattern. I wanted to let that pattern hold the focus here. The antique fabric is backed with sturdy canvas, and a hidden zipper keeps the finish clean while allowing the insert to be removed easily. The pillow itself measures 23" 11", and I like the way the 24" 14" feather insert gives it its shape and presence.
