This is a Traditional Indian Kantha Quilt. Instead of American Hand Quilting techniques, Kanthas are done with a distinct running stitch. This technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. This quilt has been hand quilted, using blue and white embroidery thread. In our opinion the quilt is extremely soft, very thin, very lightweight, and a dream to wear. Not only is it comfortable, it is flattering. Please note: Kantha Quilt stitches are much more likely to break or snag, because they are not as tightly quilted as American Quilts. If this is something that would annoy you, please steer clear of the Kantha quilts. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years old and are perfectly worn. We believe this is what makes them special and is part of their charm. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend only spot cleaning if necessary.
