Khamma Ghani Quirky Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What sizes does the Quirky cover come in?

It is made in three sizes: 16 x 16 inches, 18 x 18 inches and 32 x 32 inches. The two smaller sizes sit comfortably on a sofa or bed, while the 32-inch cover is large enough to use as a floor cushion in a lounging corner or beside low seating.

What does the patchwork on this piece look like?

It is built from lilac and magenta patches, each carrying small embroidered florals, paisleys and leaves, with silver-toned motifs catching the light here and there. A scalloped purple edge frames the whole cover, so it reads softer and more playful than a straight-bordered cushion.

What are Kantha and Kambadiya work?

Kambadiya is a patchwork technique in which separate fabric pieces are sewn together into one larger design, and Kantha is running-stitch embroidery worked over the surface. On this cover the two come together with Banjara-style work, so you get a mix of fabrics, colours and hand stitching in a single piece.

Will my cover look exactly like the one pictured?

The overall colour stays close to what you see, but the individual patches will differ. Finding the same patches twice is extremely difficult, so each cover is put together from the fabric pieces the artisans have in hand. That variation is what makes every piece one of a kind.

Who makes these cushion covers?

They come directly from Keshav, an embroidery cooperative based in Barmer, Rajasthan. Each cover is made by hand in cotton, so small irregularities in stitching or alignment are a natural part of the work rather than a flaw.

How will it sit with the rest of my room?

The purple and magenta palette, with small touches of green, gold and red, sits well against grey, white or cream upholstery and lifts a plain bedspread. If your room already leans on warm reds and oranges, use it as a cool contrast rather than trying to match.
