The kantha quilt is a soft, traditional woven cotton textile. The quilt is made by a process of hand-spinning cotton into yarn, then weaving it into fabric on a loom. This process is repeated to create a very soft and textured fabric. The quilt is typically used for bedding and often for bed-coverings. The word kantha is derived from the Tamil word “kantha,” which means “cover.” Kantha quilts consist of several layers of recycled cotton or saris, They are held together by a simple, running, “Kantha” stitch that is applied row after row and gives the fabric its unique, slightly old, wrinkled effect. This kind of embroidery is most popular with the rural women of India, who spends hour upon hour creating these wonderful, one-of-a-kind pieces. The top layer of the quilt may start peeling off (due to wear), letting the layer below shine through.
