RALLI QUILTS: Traditional Textiles from Pakistan and India (Schiffer Book for Designers and Collectors) - Softcover
Synopsis
A look at over 130 ralli quilts from the mid to late twentieth century, along with background information on where they were made, pattern characteristics, type of fabric, and dimensions.
This book tells the story of a fascinating quilting tradition found in southern Pakistan and neighboring western India. These quilts, called ralli, are stunning in their designs, brilliant in their colors, and intriguing in their history. The designs, which include patchwork, applique, and embroidered styles, are reminiscent of motifs found on painted pottery from the ancient civilizations of the area.
Showcased here are more than 130 stunning ralli quilts, all shown in full color. They date primarily from the mid- to late twentieth century and feature a wondrous array of designs and patterns that have been passed from mother to daughter and woman to woman for hundreds of years. Quilt descriptions identify where each quilt was made, design or pattern characteristics, type of fabric, and dimensions. The carefully researched text provides intriguing information on quilt construction, colors, patterns, and regional variations.
A valuable reference for textile historians, designers, and quilt lovers everywhere, this book is a tribute to the skill and creativity of the "ralli region" people who continue to make and use these beautiful textiles.
