Stained Glass Quilt is a one-of-a-kind quilt that is approx 73” x 86” in size. It would fit a twin size bed or a larger bed with less overhang. Nine yards of fabric were hand dyed with cutch, a natural dye, to make the shades of earthy pinks, roses and brick used in this quilt. Over 500 pieces of naturally dyed textile in various colors were cut and sewn to make the colorful grid running throughout the quilt. The front and back of the quilt were machine pieced, meaning the patchwork is machine sewn. The quilting, meaning the stitches in rectangle shapes throughout, was done by hand with cotton sashiko thread that was hand dyed with cutch to match the quilt. Hand quilting is a very laborious and time consuming process but the impact of the hand stitches cannot be mimicked with a machine. The binding is hand sewn and is made of cutch dyed textiles. The quilt has 100% wool batting which makes it very warm and gives it a nice weight. This quilt is functional but would be best used as bedspread, furniture accent or displayed as art. Suggested quilt care be found here. Professional cleaning is recommended for this quilt (rather than hand washing). This piece should be kept out of direct sunlight to avoid fading. *Please consult the Shipping - Quilts section of the Terms & Conditions page before purchase*
