Gujarati Silk Ikat Quilt - Green

Gujarati silk, woven in the ikat style, is a traditional textile of India. Ikat is created by pre-dying individual strands of thread before the fabric is woven. This creates the unique look of designs bleeding into one another. It’s both an exact science and a beautiful art - often, artisans are not even sure what the finished product will look like. This quilt makes a stunning bedspread, tablecloth, or even a decadent picnic blanket.

The quilt is a collage of individually-woven shades of green and gold silk strips. It shimmers in the light and measures 84'' by 104." It is backed with green cotton. Each quilt is one-of-a-kind.
