CHERRY PATCHWORK QUILT

The Cherry Patchwork Quilt is a special heirloom piece. Soft, handwoven cotton Jamdani has been beautifully pieced together to form a unique, asymmetric patchwork, making this quilt truly one of a kind.

Six different fabrics have been used for this piece. Each pattern has been designed at the Nila studio and then brought to life on the looms of traditional Jamdani weavers in West Bengal. Part of our madder collection, the cherry red shades come from the root of the madder plant (Rubia tinctorum), or manjishta, which is native to India. The yarns have been dyed in Maharashtra;  

One of Nila’s key goals is to support artisan organisations through skill-building initiatives, and the Cherry Patchwork Quilt is a testament to this effort. After a series of training sessions with Shakti Samuh, a self-help group in Rajasthan, a group of talented women artisans has made these beautiful quilts, adding handmade tassels to complement the red Jamdani patterns as a finishing touch.

 The Cherry Patchwork Quilt has a cotton filling, making it perfect for chilly weather or as a layer during cold winters. Alternatively, use it as an accessory to add the vibrancy of natural dyes and manjishta to your living space.

Composition  The outer layer is made of 100% handloom cotton, while the inner layer features cotton wadding.
