About Quilting
With a background in engineering and handmade pottery, Charan’s approach involves constantly learning, problem-solving and focusing on making unique quilts. In all the fields that he works in, he loves to accept challenges and approach the making with a “what if..” attitude. The challenges could be with technique, the limitations of materials on hand, space, or curating from repurposed fabrics to create a soothing color palette. He strives to make a connection between his different art practices to create original work.
I curated fabric scraps from my stash to represent the rich golds and deep reds seen in India. Creating a soothing gradient using only prints and then engineering the seaming to use every block as a whole was challenging, yet satisfactory.
Finished with no show facing and with a hanging sleeve that can be used to hang it on the wall (You would need a rod or a yardstick would work too).
Materials: Cotton with Cotton/poly batting
Care: Gentle vacuum to remove dust. Can also be washed on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. On receiving the quilt, the wrinkles/folds can be removed by steaming.
