It consists of vintage cotton or silk saris which are layered on top of each other and stitched together with a simple running stitch along the edges and throughout the fabric. Typically, a minimum of three cotton or silk sari layers make up each piece of kantha fabric. This forms a thin, light quilt that is soft, comfortable and cool. Kantha blankets' primary original purpose was to serve as blankets to sleep in. As you can see, there are endless functional and beautiful uses for kantha! In addition to being extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing, kantha is also an environmentally-friendly choice as it is created by repurposing vintage saris. Each kantha item has its own story to tell, and no two items are alike! Sometimes there may be a little wear in the top layer exposing the gorgeous, eye-catching layer beneath, or sometimes they may sport a little patching adding to the charismatic appeal. Here at Turquoise Tree Designs you can purchase the traditional handmade vintage quilts and also many accessories made from kantha quilts. Many of the accessories are in use in my campervan, kitchen, and home. The fabric is soft, super absorbent and quick to dry!
