This is a finished 22x28" sham including the border. The actual inside is 20x26". All cotton with a touch of rayon for the textured squares, never been used. I can't say that it is hand stitched because I don't know, but it looks like it is. There are about 56 squares, each 2x2 and 12 squares that are 4x4 with a 2 ½" flowered border and a 1" gingham inside border. This has alot of pastel in it as well as all the summer flower colors. This sham is perfect for a couch, chair or bed. The back is a solid white fold in for the pillows (not included). This is a PAIR. shipping is $10.00 in the U.S. for the PAIR.
