This kantha is piece of art, and functions beautifully as a quilt or a large throw. (If you have the space, it would look lovely as a wall hanging.) The light, airy cotton is perfect for warm nights. Charming block printing in harmonious earth tones warms my guest room. I especially appreciate the hand stitching, which tells me my quilt was made by a person… not a machine. I just ordered a second kantha for my bedroom!
