Hand Block Printed Palm Tree Reversible Cotton Quilt

Witness the goodness and comfort of soft cotton with this handcrafted quilt, brought to you by Home Therapy.  The cotton filling on the inside has been hand quilted, while the attractive designs on the surface have been done using the hand block printing process.  Practiced in India for centuries, hand block printing is an art that calls for steady movement and meticulous hand and eye coordination.  The process starts with a master craftsman tracing a motif onto a wooden block which is then carved with the help of hammers, chisels, and drills.  These wooden blocks are dipped into oil for a week which helps prevent them from cracking when exposed to dry conditions.  The fabrics used are pre-washed by the artisans, dyed with a base color, and finally laid flat for printing.  The wooden block is firmly pressed into the dye and stamped onto the fabric to create a stunning print. Once the dye dries off, the block print fabric is washed and dried in the sun
