Kantha Throw – Black and lilac. Reverse black, green and ochre

A finely stitiched vintage quilt in very good condition. Tiny off white flowers on black background with a zig zag surround of ochre flowers on pale lilac bacground. Reverse emerald green and deep mustard flower design with matching leaf pattern panels. Would look good as a cover/throw 100% cotton. Machine washable.

Kantha is a traditional method of sewing together layers of cotton saris using a simple running stitch called ‘Kantha‘. This age old method of recycling originated in Bangladesh and was an excellent way of creating quilts from pre-existing fabric. Each piece is completely unique with a different colour way and design on the reverse allowing a different look for your room depending on which side is shown.

As the material is vintage, sometimes there are small blemishes and even the odd patch.
