These are beautiful pillows. The pictures don’t do the stitching justice. The stitching is thick and slightly raised. Not rough.  Comfortable to lay your head on. I feel the blue is much more prevalent in person. I have a dark couch and wanted something to brighten it up a bit and these pillows have done that! 

2 small disappointments (why I gave 4 stars). There was a small snag in the stitching of one pillow and a about a 1” - 1.5” area where the hem was open along a side. Other than that, they are perfect!
