KING SIZE QUILT - Indigo Blue
KING SIZE QUILT - Indigo Blue
Our king size block printed quilt has been block printed with irregular stripes along the bottom, or looks great folded over at the top of the bed. It has been dip dyed by our master dyers in Bagru - a technique that they had not tried before and we love it. Where the second layer of darker indigo meets the lighter base layer indigo is beautiful. Every quilt is 100% unique.
230cm x 220cm made from 100% organic cotton, soft cotton outer with organic cotton padding on the inside. Machine stitched by hand with 10cm checked stitch lines.
The pattern is stamped onto the fabric using the traditional dabu printing process. Dabu is an age old printing technique, passed down through generations of printers and is a mud resist process.
Firstly the fabric is printed in mud using a wooden printing block, the mud is used as an ink pad. It is then sprinkled with sawdust to dry in the hot Indian sun and then dipped in the natural Indigo to achieve the colour. Indigo is one of the oldest known colours of the ancient world and is derived from the indigo plant. 100% natural and organic and is actually released back into the farmland once the process has completed.
