Quilted Indian Block Print in Lilac

We are delighted to share our exclusive Fluid + Drape collection of quilted Indian block prints! I personally chose each print and color and a small team of Indian artisans in Jaipur hand printed every inch of these gorgeous cotton fabrics. There is so much rustic charm in how block prints are hand crafted and aren't always perfectly printed.

We love this unique pairing of bright lilac purple with a vintage paisley motif. The narrow rows of quilting stitches conjure up images of vintage kantha blankets. This wonderful fabric includes a hand printed cotton top layer, 100% cotton batting, and a white cotton bottom layer so there is no need to line the garment. 

Block printing dyes have a slight smell that will fade with washing but if you would like to speed up the process, include a cup of white vinegar when you pre-wash. 

Example garment is a fabulous quilt coat sewn up by shop owner Bethany. This is the Rue Quilt Coat by Spaghetti Western Sewing.
