English term or phrase: box-edged pillow
Making a Box-Edged Pillow
Box-edged pillows, popular in the 1950s, have popped back onto the decorating scene. They look like small sofa cushions — two rows of piping with a strip of fabric in between called a boxing strip — and they often have a fabric-covered button stitched in the center (check out the pillow in the color section).

Thanks for your help!

Clarification request(s) and response
ludostef: 8:05pm Feb 13, 2006: Et pour "boxing strip" - Coussin tapissier me paraît très bien, mais que faire de "boxing strip" qui apparaît dans la définition ci-dessus et dans le patron du coussin ? Ex :
The boxing strip adds room that you need for creating the flat sides to
the finished pillow. Because of the softness of the pillow forms, if you add seam allowances, the pillow covers come out too big.
Merci !
