Nakshi kantha quilt with red and orange printed back

A unique and beautiful vintage kantha quilt which has very fine stitching and pretty ikat pattern.   Several vintage cotton saris stitched together to make a beautiful and unique quilt that will look lovely as a bed throw or sofa cover. 

Kantha, meaning: “patched cloth”, refers to both the tradition of producing these unique, quilted blankets, as well as the craft and stitch itself which is a small, straight running stitch in embroidery. Old kantha cloth is thought to have a magical purpose as it is believed to ward off the evil eye, keeping its user warm and safe from harm.

These beautiful and unique, hand made vintage quilts will work in a variety of settings.
