Kantha Quilts & Throws
Running-stitch quilts — each one stitched by hand, no two alike.
A kantha quilt is layered cotton held together by thousands of small running stitches worked entirely by hand — a technique that turns fabric into a light, drapey, one-of-one heirloom. This edit pairs kantha throws and quilts with our hand block printed duvet covers and quilted bedcovers. Kantha is disclosed as kantha (it is a stitch craft, distinct from Sanganeri block printing); every piece states its construction honestly.
About kantha quilts & throws
What is a vintage-style kantha throw used for?
As a sofa throw, an end-of-bed layer, a light AC-room cover or a travel wrap — kantha's charm is that it is decorative and genuinely usable at once. A single throw transforms a plain bed or sofa.
Is every kantha piece really unique?
Yes — the stitching is done by hand over block-printed or assorted cotton layers, so stitch density, texture and fabric play differ piece to piece. Photos are representative; yours will be its own.
Is kantha the same craft as Sanganeri block print?
No — Sanganeri is hand block printing (GI-protected to Sanganer), kantha is a hand running-stitch quilting tradition. We sell both and label each honestly; many pieces combine a block-printed base with kantha stitching.
