Sera's Butterfly quillo is appliquéd and machine sewn. It folds into itself to form a pillow. Because it is quilted, it is called a "Quillo". Like all of Sera's quilts, only the highest quality fabrics, thread and workmanship are used on this quilt. Various colors. Hardly ever made the same way twice. It is machine washable and can be put in the dryer. Made to be used. This is baby safe with tight stitching, 100% cotton fabrics and a lo-loft polyester batting.
