Kantha is a traditional embroidery style originating from Bengal, involving simple, running stitches. The word 'Kantha', in fact, means 'embroidered quilt'. This quilt would be used either to sleep on or as a blanket to cover oneself. This quilted bedspread is made of fine quality cotton fabric with cotton wadding and then lined with soft cotton fabric at the back. Quilting is in classic zig zag pattern in multicolor threads.
