Boho Sanskriti Indian Quilt Vintage Bedspreads,Throws,Ralli, Lot Kantha Reversible Bedcover Bedspread Throw Cotton Blanket Gudari -Single Pieces, Twin

I bought one of these blankets last year from this seller. I have used it almost every day since then so obviously it has been washed ( gentle cycle/ hung dry ) 20 plus times so far. It is now very very soft but still looks the same as when I received it. The colors on one side are not my favorite but the other side is gorgeous. The fact that it is completely hand stitched by another woman on the other side of the world is the biggest draw for me. You can see just by looking at it that a lot of work and caring has gone into the finished product.! I didn’t need another one but last week my sister sent me an Amazon gift card for my 63rd birthday and something crossed my heart that I needed to buy one again, one that will probably have been made by an entirely different person. I know it might sound a bit silly to some of you, and it’s just a blanket, but the back story of these blankets makes them very special to me. :-). I just received my new one and both sides are beautiful ( I would love it even if it was ugly though.). lol And yes, you might receive a blanket with what we in the West consider as a Swastika symbol. However, in the Sanskrit culture, ( the culture of the hard working woman who produce these blankets ) , this symbol represents well- being / good fortune and not the hatred and destruction we might view it as and to me that is just an added bonus. So to sum it up…. these blankets are really beautiful, very well made ( and with a wonderful back story) and also very versatile ( think tablecloth, window or doorway covering, back of sofa, light sumner blanket , winter blanket if it’s not too cold, wall art, a hide out cover for your kids fort…… the list goes on. Thank you for reading my long winded but entirely from the heart message . I wish peace and harmony to all the beautiful blanket makers, the seller and of course you dear reader. It’s the simple things in life people. :-) Susan.

These are VERY thin. It's three beautiful cotton saris quilt stitched together. I save out the prettiest to use for dress material (pick them apart and make simple 2 piece tunics for myself). The prettiest are REALLY beautiful - patterns we only see in the most expensive clothes here in the US. I get tons of compliments on my sari-shirts. XD This is such a good deal for fabric, especially if you but several at once. As actual blankets, it's basically three layers of what we would use for sheets. It's perfect for me as I get really hot at night. They're light and cheap enough to get several and change it every day. They hold up in the wash great. I am sensitive to odors. These often come with a very strange, to me offputting smell. Not musty, not chemically - I'd call it "exotic." It comes out after washing a few times, or once or twice washing and line drying. If that's a problem, these quilts will disappoint you. To me, even though it's actually bothersome, it's worth running them through a few laundry cycles, after they arrive. The extra washes really soften them up EVEN MORE!

These quilts were beyond what I was expecting for the price! The colors are gorgeous. I'm using them to cover some of the windows in our guestroom and they are the perfect weight for that. They are generously sized so I can use the remaining two as throws at the end of the bed. They did have a musty smell when I took them out of the package but washed them right away and they're fine! Highly recommend!

I bought a 5 pack of these and wish I bought more! These are beautiful! They are bright, colorful and unique. I live in Florida and these are the perfect weight. They keep the chill of winter or too much AC off. They are great to cover the foot of your bed or back of your couch. I love how they are handsewn. Some are better stitched than others which I love because it indicates that someone is learning and will soon be sewing like a pro! I imagine that the women who make these are starting to earn money to help themselves and their families. I hope that most of them can use this job experience to find a better job or to pay for their daughters to go to school so they have more choices in life. It might just be a nice fantasy but hope is important. Buy these you won't regret it.

I appreciate the different lightweight quilted Kantha blankets. I have ordered several. They are a perfect lightweight blanket while sitting on the couch during a cool evening, to use while sleeping on a warm summer night, or as a sofa cover to protect from pets. I like the different bright patterns. I rated the quilts a 4 due to not having the opportunity for color preference.. I found the quilts listed with different price ranges, $20.00 to over $100. They arrived with a musty odor. The blanket was soft and odor free after one washing. I ordered two quilts for my granddaughter to take to her college dorm. I am sure she will appreciate the variety of designs. I am sure I will make another order.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I absolutely love this vendor! I've purchased kantha quilts from others and they weren't actually authentic kantha quilts, just cheap machine made polyester blankets. Or the size was much much smaller than advertised, more baby blanket sized. Any quilt I've purchased from this vendor has always been authentic kantha. I'm always excited to see the patterns or skill level (you can tell by the stitching). It's a beautiful art! The material is always a nice breathable cotton like material that washes beautifully on gentle cycle and a touch of fabric softener, I always hang dry or a couple minutes on low heat in the dryer, then hang dry. They are cozy but still lightweight and the size is usually more generous than the advertised 88x55. The patterns are always beautiful and fit my "dirty hippie" style! PS: I have deuteranopia (a form of colorblindness) so I can't give any facts about what the colors actually are

Absolutely stunning! Vibrant colors, they feel soft and nice, no weird smell, I can safely say... im obsessed and will definitely order more!

I love these, they are nice and light and beautiful. Why they don't get 5 stars is because the dye in some of them has a scent that you cannot launder out and, unfortunately, it is not pleasant.

Had no idea what colour it would be and took a chance, 1 side pink, the other yellow/orange, i love it and will order more! Its like 2 cotton sheets sewed together but great weight to travel with, it will come with me in my suitcase for sure

Beautiful and soft and great look. Going to use for a sewing project.

Me encantó, justo para cubrir un sofá, es suave y muy bonita. Me hubiese gustado un poco más grande.

Muy bonitas ligeras y sobre todo alegres sus diseños . La calidad excelente pues la tela muy suave .

I love my Kantha. I wanted a colorful one and was worried I would get a full color but I got just what I was hoping for...a vibrant colorful one. The only issue for me was the smell was horrible and it even stunk up the room, but that issue resolved with washing it (and it washed and dried well on low). Do keep in mind that this is not your typical quilt....it will be thin and is more useful decoratively than for function.
