{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-floralcheck","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Floralcheck","description":"\u003cp\u003eFloralcheck does what its name says: a floral embroidery laid over a stitched check, so the flowers sit inside a soft grid. It is a device borrowed from old quilts and folk textiles, and it gives the design a settled, domestic order that a free-flowing trail does not have. The rayon thread has a slight sheen against the matte linen, so the check and the flowers read differently as the light changes. It is the most domestic design in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 75 per cent linen and 25 per cent rayon, the rayon being the embroidery thread. It is 134 centimetres wide with a 58 centimetre vertical and 67 centimetre horizontal repeat, and it is specified for curtains and bedspreads. One colourway, Red\/Green, which reads as a warm brick red and a leaf green on natural and sits well with cream, timber and terracotta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use it as a bedspread more than as a curtain, because the check likes to lie flat; it also makes a good pair of curtains in a farmhouse kitchen or a country bedroom, and cushions on a plain sofa. Pair with a plain linen in either colour or a simple stripe. In a boot room or a kitchen it is robust enough as a blind, and the check hides marks better than a plain. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the check square: ask your maker to cut on the grain and match the grid across widths and at the hems. Allow a full repeat per drop. Line and interline curtains; a bedspread wants a light interlining for weight. It is not rated for upholstery. For cushions, centre a flower in each square and cut with the grid, not on the diagonal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75% linen, 25% rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134 cm (53 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 cm vertical, 67 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winslow, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Red\/Green)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Red\/Green","offer_id":58050951872894,"sku":"BF11167.1","price":84.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Red\/Green","offer_id":58050951905662,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF11167.1","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/BF11167_1.png?v=1789682896","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-floralcheck","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
