Half Kantha Dohar Quilt - Coral Bloom / Blue Iris - One of a Kind

 

Worked entirely by hand, this quilt is stitched through layers using rows of running stitch drawn across the full surface - the defining mark of the kantha tradition. The front is an upcycled underprint in coral bloom - a soft periwinkle blue ground alive with a fine all-over small-scale floral and abstract print in muted blue, teal, dusty pink and soft coral, the motifs layered densely across the surface through 8 to 12 rounds of hand woodblock printing across a month of production. The overall impression is a soft, luminous blue with warm coral and teal accents blooming through - gentle, complex, and entirely unrepeatable. Edition of one. The edges are finished with a fine hand blanket stitch in teal thread - small, precise, and quietly present.

The reverse is a wide-width blue iris linen-cotton blend - deep, inky and moody - with the kantha running stitch visible on both sides, tracing the same quiet rhythm across the cloth.
