Top 5 Uses of Kantha Quilts


I am quite confident you have idea about alluring patterns of Kantha and intricate stitching running with it to make these beautiful Kanthaquilts. ( if not, have a look at our quilts collection here!) and get to know how these can be used.
Whether you’d like to decorate with an existing colour scheme in a enlightened living space or create a more repose bohemian vibe – here’s five reasons you require to get yourself a Kantha quilt to bring some light, history and fun into your life!

Close-Stitched Kantha Quilt by Vintage Kantha Quilt


1. BED SPREAD, QUILT OR COVERLET
Probably the most frequent use for the Kantha quilt – they’re appreciable for all year ’round. Magnificently layered, for that true ‘boho’ look, they can give instant warmth on those chilly nights, but they can also be light enough to use in warmer months if they have more delicate cotton layers. It is totally depend on how many layer the quilt is made of.

2. OVER AN ARM CHAIR OR CABINET COVER
Got a dark little corner that you can never seem to brighten up? We have the perfect fix. Lay a vibrant colored vintage kantha quilt over a cabinet, or on a lonely couch to shed some much needed brightness. Vice versa, a chaotic and overly bright space can be cooled with an indigo Kantha quilt and calmed down with a Kantha featuring a ample calmer and delicate print.

3. COUCH THROW OR BLANKET
Another favourite in our home is a couch throw – whether it’s literally thrown onto the couch to give a much needed dab of colour or pattern, neatly folded or display on the back of the sofa or armrest, the Kantha throw is perfect to be used to liven up a couch or as a blanket for curling up under (with popcorn of course)!
Alternatively, a fun weekend break from night re-runs of Friends or Breaking Bad could have you set up some Kantha floor cushions and layer them with vintage kantha quilts for a romantic setting. Absolutely perfect for that cheeky glass of wine and Indian desi veggie you’ve been dreaming about all week.

4. WALL HANGING AND TAPESTRY
Kanthas make superb wall hangings and can be an unbelievable talking piece for a lounge feature – or even an office space. The best thing about it is the 2-in-1 feature of the kantha – as they are double-sided, reversible they can be flipped with sometime for a new look creating a dynamic wall space!

5. PICNIC BLANKET
One of the most favourite uses of Kantha Quilts is to use picnic blanket. Kanthas are the absolute picnic blanket – versatile, colourful and even reversible – so you actually get a choice of 2 designs each time! Light enough to carry or stow in your bike basket, you’ll be the jealous of all the other plain plaid blanket owners in your local park. You can also keep a small kantha piece rolled up in your glove compartment for the extempore country picnic getaway at any time; you can also have an indoor picnic in the middle of your lounge with these Kantha Quilts. It is totally a fun and more of comfort with these.

TIP: If you’re anxious about putting the kantha down on grass, don’t worry – since these are made from cotton and strengthened by the kantha stitch they can be machine-washed easily. Grass stains rarely seem to occur as they are so full of vibrant colour already and even so, they have slight imperfections due to age, dyes and their handmade style, so their phantom can’t be crushed that easily.
