Made from used and vintage saris, these quilts are one-of-a-kind treasures—no two are alike. Each quilt is created by layering two saris and stitching them together using a traditional Kantha technique, a running stitch that adds texture and durability while preserving the fabric’s history. These quilts have been pre-washed, though due to the nature of the vintage fabrics, colors may still bleed slightly when washed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKantha Quilts\u003c\/strong\u003e are a timeless form of Indian textile art, where fabrics are repurposed and revived through intricate hand-stitching. Originating from the rural regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh, this method of upcycling saris has been passed down through generations of women, who transform old fabrics into beautiful, functional works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wt-ml-xs-1\"\u003eThese sizes are approximate and vary with each quilt:\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 55 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wt-ml-xs-1\"\u003eLength: 85 inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wt-ml-xs-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy purchasing one of these unique quilts, you’re not only embracing a piece of cultural heritage but also supporting the \u003cstrong\u003eIndian Everett Mission\u003c\/strong\u003e a cause close to our hearts.
