I have posted the pic of my pillow on rctnp, it is now finished and made up.
I would still argue that it would fit in a modern room just as easily as an antiquey room, my room is more eclectic as I am surrounded by family pics on the walls and the furniture is plain white. Walls are the same blue as the piping on the pillow and the carpet is white.
So if you feel it is 'grandmotherly' - good for you, this great-grandmother likes it and could give a fig !
