Kantha Quilt with 48 Elephant Appliqués, 96" x 84"
This large kantha quilt features 48 elephant appliqués, each cut from patterned cotton fabrics and hand-stitched onto a warm peach ground. The quilt showcases the traditional kantha technique from eastern India and Bangladesh, where layers of cloth are joined with countless running stitches, creating the subtle rippled texture visible throughout. These stitches not only secure the appliqués but also give the textile its distinctive handmade character.
Kantha quilts originate from a long tradition of resourceful textile artistry—transforming saved cotton fabrics into decorative and functional pieces. The lively mix of colors and patterns in the elephant motifs brings personality and cultural charm, making this piece ideal as a bed covering, wall hanging, or statement accent in a global-inspired interior. A visually engaging and authentic example of regional craftsmanship.
