Because We Love Them – More Kantha Quilts – Celebrate the Festive Stitch
PATCHED FROM THE QUILTER'S FAVOURITE FABRICS
THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH QUILT
Fields of colour and brilliant patchwork all covered with tight running stitches. These vintage quilts have been cherished for years, they 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.
