Kawandi is a style of quilting that originates from the Siddi community of African descent in Western India and Pakistan. It is characterized by its unique construction method of layering fabric scraps, working from the outside in, and using a long running stitch. Traditional Kawandi quilts are hand stitched and often include small, triangle shaped “phula” flowers at the corners.
