Hand-stitched Cotton Blanket / Bed Cover

Kaantha (also spelled as Qanta) is a type of embroidery typical of eastern South Asia, often practiced by rural women.The traditional form of Kaantha embroidery is done using soft, often used, dhotis (men’s sarongs) and saris.These blankets/throws are made with two or more pieces of fabric that are stacked on each other and hand-stitched together with a running stitch, often creating geometric patterns and shapes on the fabric.
