Transform your living space with this stunning set of accent pillows, inspired by the breathtaking details of the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona. The foundation of each pillow is a beautifully textured knit, but it’s the unique I-cord accents that truly make them stand out. Each design reflects one of the iconic figures — Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — subtly crafted to bring symbolism and beauty without being overtly literal.
The pattern includes the complete instructions for the Jesus design, with detailed charts provided for the Mary and Joseph motifs. Whether displayed together or individually, these pillows will add an air of sophistication and a touch of inspiration to your home décor.
