BENGAL PATCHWORK QUILTS
NATURAL INDIGO AND RUNNING STITCH
Meet our newest kantha quilts: Bengal Patchwork. These are made from naturally dyed indigo textiles by artisans in rural Bengal. They are a wonderful wandering grid covered with course running stitch. We have paired them with a selection of cushion covers in two sizes. Both quilts and cushion covers have a playful, country charm.
