Perfect for adding a touch of warmth and personality to your home, these quilts boast a multitude of uses—from bedspreads and throws to picnic rugs and wedding gifts. Each piece is lovingly hand-stitched by skilled artisans, showcasing the magic of hand block printing and vegetable dyeing.

Offerings in various sizes ensure that each quilt can meet the specific needs of different home settings:

• Queen Size: 90 x 108 inches

Material and Fabric

Crafted from 100% pure cotton, these quilts are handblock printed using vegetable colors. The use of cotton ensures that the quilt is breathable, lightweight, and soft, making it ideal for all seasons. The fabric undergoes extensive stitching—known as running Kantha stitching—on both the front and the back, adding layers of texture and durability to each quilt.

Hand Block Printing and Vegetable Colors

Each quilt is adorned with floral prints achieved through hand block printing, a traditional dyeing technique that involves stamping designs onto the fabric using carved wooden blocks. Vegetable colors are used in this process, ensuring that the quilts are as environmentally friendly as they are beautiful. These natural dyes are not only gentle on the skin but also provide a depth of color that synthetic dyes often lack.

Design and Aesthetics

The intricate designs of these quilts make them a visual feast. The floral patterns evoke the lush landscapes of India and bring a touch of nature into your home. The vibrant colors and detailed stitching enhance the beauty of these quilts, making them perfect for any decor style—be it bohemian, hippie, or traditional.

Stitching and Craftsmanship

Running Kantha stitching is a technique passed down through generations of artisans. This form of stitching involves continuous lines of thread running through the fabric, creating a textured pattern that adds both strength and beauty. Each stitch is a testament to the meticulous effort and skill of the artisans who bring these quilts to life.

• Bedspread: Use it as a bedspread to add a layer of warmth and comfort.

Care Instructions

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your handmade Kantha quilt, follow these care instructions:

• Dry Cleaning: Recommended for long-lasting color and fabric integrity.
• Machine Wash: If you prefer, you can machine wash it on a cold setting.
