Manhattan Quilt Cover Set - Nickel
A white cotton sateen quilt cover framed by a 35mm mitred border in soft silver grey, with two lines of satin stitch running inside it. Closed with concealed buttons, and matched by a pair of bordered pillowcases. Presented in a gift box.
Description
Manhattan takes its cue from New York's Art Deco architecture, which means it is built from straight lines and a defined frame rather than from pattern. In Nickel the frame is a soft silver grey on a white cotton sateen ground, with two lines of satin stitch set inside it.
This is the quieter of the two colourways. The border gives the bed a defined edge without introducing contrast, so it brings structure to a pale room rather than a focal point, and layers easily under a throw or a bedspread.
What's included
Each set includes one bordered quilt cover with a concealed button closure, and a matching pair of bordered pillowcases.
The same mitred border runs on the quilt cover and both pillowcases. Border width and pillowcase closure differ by range and are set out in the specifications below.

Fabric & construction
The framed border
The border is mitred, so the corners are joined at 45 degrees and the frame turns cleanly rather than one side overlapping the other. In Nickel the frame is quieter than the Navy, but the tolerance is no easier: a soft grey against white still shows an uneven corner, and the design rests on the frame reading as four straight lines meeting square. Finished at 35mm and carried around the cover, it gives the bed a defined edge without introducing contrast.
The satin stitch
Two parallel lines of satin stitch run inside the border, worked in colourfast viscose rayon. In a tonal grey the stitch is read as much through its lustre as through its colour, so the lines catch the light rather than announcing themselves. The pillowcases carry the same stitch on all four sides rather than only at the opening. The cover closes with concealed buttons, so nothing interrupts the front.
A quiet border is not an easier one. Grey against white still shows every corner that is not square.
