Vintage Kantha Throws are a one-of-a-kind cotton textile that are ideal in their imperfections. These extremely imaginative and vibrantly colored quilts are made by sewing together layers of old saris collectively, and are inspired by the history and contentment of their rich tradition. With their wonderful details and brilliant colours, Kantha throws or quilts give a fantastic kaleidoscope of colour, completely renovating and amplifying any living area.
Vintage Kantha quilts are a result of women's art and were designed by some intelligent women many years ago. Poor women in rural West Bengal, India, needed throws for their infants, so they picked the softest parts of their faded cotton saris and patched them together in a synchronized pattern with an all-over running stitch.
Kantha is the name given to this unusual stitch. Small repair patches, loose and uneven threads, and other characteristics of ancient blankets offer a lot of character to the quilt.These quilts, which are entirely hand stitched, are such a refreshing change from machine made quilts. The rich colours of vintage Kantha throws may brighten up your living area.
Let's have a look at some of the ways Kantha quilts can be used in the home.
1. Elegantly drape across sofas
To add design and colour to your living room, drape a Kantha quilt over the arm of your couch. This also ensures that you have a sheath ready to roll up on movie evenings. You can also tuck these old blankets between the cushions of your couch for a more modern look.
2. Put them on the top shelf Tablecloth
Kantha ornamentation is appealing, and it is delicate enough to prevent glasses and plates from jiggling. You can use these throws as a tablecloth and spread them across your entire table, or you can wrap them and use them as a table runner under platters. If you're going on a picnic, you should bring these as fun picnic throws.
you may use these kantha quilts dining table placemats and bringing warmth to dining table.

3. They're flawless Pillow/Cushions Covers
Because of their brilliant colours and pop designs, Kanthas make excellent cushion or pillow covers. You can buy Kantha-covered pillows or have a quilt fashioned into headrests at your neighborhood tailor. Place some pillows on the floor and add an over sized cushion to create a boho resting area that is perfect for unwinding
4. Accessorize with Accent Pieces
There are already upholstered benches and pieces of furniture in Kantha fabric. You can still knit your slipcover if you prefer the do-it-yourself option. To make things stand out, simply wrap Kantha blankets over them.
