Abstract:
Quilting is one of the glorious tradition of recycling and reusing. Sustainable quilting is not something new to our world, it has been a day to day practice, way of livelihood for time immemorial. Quilting is not just a craft, it is a sustainable way of creating new from old textiles or fabrics etc. It is an amazing way to reduce the waste and give a new life to those fabrics which are not in use. The kaudi quilts are being exported to European and many other countries. It is a versatile craft that merges art with practicality, consisting of stiching together multiple layers of fabric to create decorative and functional pieces. India’s quilting heritage is represented by Bengal’s Kantha, Rajasthan’s gudri, Jharkhand’s ledra, Uttar Pradesh’s razai, Karnataka’s Kowdi and Goa’s Indo Portuguese quilts among others. This paper examines the process of quilting, the importance of quilting and its health benefits for the individuals. It highlights the role of quilting in preserving cultural traditions. There is a growing demand for handmade products in India, which has led to an increase in the popularity of quilting. Social media platforms have made it easier for quilters to connect, share ideas and showcase their work.
