Some are patched, or embroidered - the colors and designs indicate their age, history and the design sense of the maker. Soft and supple, they feel delicious, the fine overall stitching is appealing to the touch and creates a subtle texture. The colors mix in surprisingly beautiful ways, some bright, some soft. Some are pieced front and back, some are one fabric on the front, some have a solid color on the reverse. Weight and size vary with each quilt. Weights in this collection vary from 30 oz to 70 oz. Sizes range from 96\" x 65\" to 76\" x 58\".  All possess a rare and deep beauty.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eUse as a throw or blanket, or as fabric for garments or accessories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e80-100 years old.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSummer weight - 2 layers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTraditionally, old cotton saris, lungis and dhotis, which had turned incredibly soft through wear, were used to make kanthas.

It could take months or even years to complete one kantha. The stitching could be handed down through generations, with grandmother, mother and daughter working on the same kantha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHand wash or machine wash cold separately, air dry or dry gentle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole cloth with some piecing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine stitching\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecycled fabric: made from cotton saris\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReversible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCotton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e76\" x 58\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e48.3 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Arvan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41764981997673,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/5176\/files\/737-2.jpg?v=1722782256","url":"https:\/\/adurlandscapes.com\/products\/sj737-vintage-kantha-quilt","provider":"adurlandscapes Fabrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
