Kantha embroidery consists of a delicate running stitch. As all things crafted by hand it is "imperfectly perfect" and there in lies its charm. Each quilt takes approximately 20 days to make. The complexity of the kantha embroidery comes from the density of the embroidery.

In this quilt, the lines are approximately 8.5mm apart making them extremely dense, exquisite examples of kantha embroidery. The end result is an heirloom quilt of breathtaking quality.

This quilt is made using 5 layers of soft cotton: the top and bottom are vintage sarees; sandwiched between them are 3 layers of soft hand-loomed cotton fabric. The front and the back of each quilt vary depending on how the sarees are sewn together, so you get to enjoy two unique looks!
