Khamma Ghani Whimsical Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What does the Whimsical cover look like?

A navy ground holds vivid pink, orange and yellow patchwork squares, with folk florals, geometrics and small mirror dots worked in green and red. A white stitched rim runs around the edge with just a few tassels, so the bright patches do most of the talking.

Why does the colour look so vivid on this piece?

The navy base acts like a dark backdrop, so the hot pinks, oranges and yellows look brighter against it than they would on a light ground. It is a cheerful, high-contrast mix that adds energy to a plain room while the navy keeps it grounded.

Which sizes are offered?

You can choose from 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. The first two are everyday sizes for sofas and armchairs. The 32 x 32 inch size is a large piece that suits floor seating or a single oversized cushion on a bed or daybed.

How is Kambadiya patchwork made?

Artisans cut pieces of embroidered and patterned cotton and stitch them together into one design. On the Whimsical cover the patches are joined with Kantha running stitches and decorated with Banjara-style folk embroidery and mirror dots, all by hand at the Keshav cooperative in Barmer.

Why does it have only a few tassels?

On this piece the tassels are spaced sparsely around the white stitched rim. That gives it a lighter, less fringed edge, which some people prefer on a sofa where tassels can catch, and it lets the bright patchwork do most of the talking.

Will my cover look the same as the one shown?

It will be very close in overall colour, but the individual patches may vary, since finding the same patches again is extremely difficult. Expect the same navy base and bright folk mix, with your own arrangement of squares.
