Description
A hand-stitched patchwork quilt with small fine floral patches of pinks and white in a larger diamond design.
Fair Trade
These traditional patchworks have been hand quilted by women living in the countryside of India. They are literally made from home-spun fabrics, which are woven by family owned looms within their own dwellings. The yarn used is 100% natural cotton, sourced locally. Thousands of tiny intricate patches of fabric are hand-guided, machine stitched and painstakingly hand quilted. With some of these quilts having over 10,000 patches they can take more than a month to make and from the income generated the women are able to send their children to school and take care of their families.
Dimensions
Being hand-made, these patchwork quilts vary slightly in their dimensions, which adds to their charm.

- Doubles: 215-235cm by 240-260cm
