Frequently Asked Questions About the Patchwork Kantha Bedding Set
-
What is included in the Patchwork Kantha Bedding Set?
The queen-size set includes one handmade kantha quilt and two coordinating pillow shams. The quilt measures about 96 inches square and the shams about 20 by 26 inches, with envelope openings and three sari-tie closures. Colors and patterns vary, so SERRV selects a coordinated set for you.
-
What is a kantha quilt?
A kantha quilt is a reversible bedcover made by layering recycled cotton saris, three layers here, and joining them with the traditional Indian kantha running stitch. The result is soft, breathable, and lightly warm, with a colorful patchwork interspersed with contrasting white patches. Every quilt is hand stitched, so no two are alike.
-
What bed size does the kantha quilt fit?
The quilt is sized for a queen bed and works as a lightweight bedcover or coverlet. It is a bedcover rather than a thick comforter, so it suits warmer sleepers and layering; many people also use it on a full bed for extra drape or over a larger bed as an accent.
-
How do you wash the kantha bedding set?
Wash the quilt and shams cold and separately, then line dry to protect the recycled cotton fabric and colors as well as the delicate kantha embroidery. SERRV suggests adding about half a cup of baking soda to the first wash to freshen the set after shipping, and skipping bleach. The soft, lived-in texture deepens with use.
-
Is the kantha bedding set fair trade, and how is it made?
Yes. The set is hand stitched from recycled and upcycled cotton sari by fair trade artisan groups in East India, providing skilled artisans with steady, sustainable income. Because each quilt is pieced and stitched by hand from different saris, the patchwork is unique to your set.
