KANTHA QUILTS
THE FESTIVE STITCH
Fields of colour and brilliant patchwork all covered with tight running stitches. These quilts are medium weight and big personality.
Kantha quilts are made for household use in rural parts of Bengal and Bangladesh. Favourite prints, saris, and beloved lengths of cloth are stitched together with plain and coloured threads. Every quilter has her own individual style. These quilts are used as bedcovers, blankets, tablecloths, picnic blankets, car blankets, couch blankets ... there is no limit to the utility of these textiles.
