Half Kantha Dohar Quilt - Vintage Reverie in Blue / Blue Iris - One of a Kind

Worked entirely by hand, this quilt is stitched through two 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 vintage reverie in blue - a soft white and cream ground carrying the quiet memory of countless printings. A large-scale geometric grid of overlapping diamonds and triangles in muted blue-grey drifts across the surface, faded and layered like a pattern half-remembered. Scattered through and beneath it: dusty rose, burnt terracotta, sage green, soft lavender and warm yellow-gold - loose, painterly, haphazard, the residue of 8 to 12 rounds of hand woodblock printing across a month of production. Where the layers build, the colour deepens into something richer; where they thin, the pale cream ground glows through. No two printings land the same way twice; this piece is entirely unrepeatable. Edition of one. The edges are finished with a fine hand blanket stitch in coral 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.
