Khamma Ghani Eclectic Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What makes the Eclectic cover eye-catching?

A deep maroon ground packed with jewel-toned patchwork squares in orange, blue, pink, yellow and green. Folk florals, geometrics and mirror dots fill every square, and a white stitched rim with tassels frames it. It is a dense, many-coloured piece, which is where the eclectic name comes from.

How do I fit such a busy cover into my decor?

Let it be the one patterned piece in its spot. Place it against solid upholstery in cream, beige, mustard or olive, and pair it with one or two plain cushions in a colour pulled from the patches, such as blue or orange. That gives the patchwork room to breathe.

What sizes are available?

It comes in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. The smaller sizes suit sofas, chairs and diwans, and the 32 x 32 inch size is a large cushion that works on the floor or as a single oversized accent.

Will mine be identical to the one pictured?

The overall colour will stay similar, but individual patches may vary, as finding the same patches again is extremely difficult. You will get the same maroon base and jewel-toned folk mix, arranged a little differently.

Will the maroon bleed in the wash?

Deep colours on mixed cotton patches need a little care. Wash it alone in cold water with mild detergent for the first few washes, in case any dye releases, avoid soaking, and dry it in shade. If you would rather not risk it, dry clean.

What is Kambadiya work?

Kambadiya is a patchwork craft in which embroidered and patterned cotton pieces are cut and stitched together into one surface. Here it is combined with Kantha running stitches and Banjara embroidery, by the Keshav cooperative in Barmer, Rajasthan.
