Cozy up this fall with our take on classic plaid with a modern twist. Each panel is hand-cut, sewn together, and then intricately hand-finished with traditional Kantha stitching. Inspired by the rich history and complex patterns behind Indian madras, this plaid patchwork quilt is perfect for draping at the end of a bed, on the arm of a sofa, or as a statement-making tapestry on the wall.
