Oh my! That is so stunning! What scarf is this, please? Is that the NYC public library on the front? We eloped to NYC last year and we had our photos taken on the steps and by the lion and I just wondered if the scarf depicted NYC - as that would make such a lovely memento.

That would be gorgeous!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do - especially given your beautiful collection!
Yes! It is Le grande prix du faubourg. Congrats on eloping and this would be wonderful as a momento

This is a depiction of the street where the Paris flagship store is located, I believe. Not NYC
I'm after this scarf myself!
Just picked up these 2 pillows:
It’s amazing how big the pillows turn out to be using 90 scarves!

Yes, love love the orange contrast hem, which inspired me to make my pillow using the same scarf pattern in a different colorway that also had a contrast hem!
Note; I decided that Kimono ex Libris doesn’t work so well as a pillow. The big H and crane motif in the scarf pattern ends up off center on the pillow which bothers me. I took the advice of other tpfers here and folded the scarf over a pillow I already had to see what it would look like before I had one made.
Your pillows turned out beautifully!! I love both designs, and they work perfectly with the way the pillow covers are sewn.
I have two pillows ready to be picked up as well. I hate to say it, but I forgot one of the scarves that I sent off to be sewn [emoji38] I tried process of elimination by going through my collection to see what isn’t there...but couldn’t figure it out since I have so many [emoji51]
Love your thinking..... of course!!!!
I feel these are super addictive [emoji3] can’t wait to see how your pillow garden grows!
I always want to turn these vintage scarves into something. This pillow idea is just great! I ordered the pillow inserts from amazon, 24x24inch. My 9yr old helped me to sew them together, no fancy zippers. We were able to finish two within an hour. I guess if it gets dirty, I'll just unthread it and handwash it. It turns out pretty nice, I think. 
Only downside is the four corners which are not stuffed well.
Thanks for letting me share!
