Godhari Quilting of Maharashtra

Godhari also called godhadi quilting is a traditional form of quilting that originated in the state of Maharashtra in western India. The term “Godhadi” comes from the Marathi word “godh,” which means a layer, and “adi,” which means a mattress.

The process of making a godhadi quilt is a time-consuming one, and it requires a lot of patience and skill. First, the old clothes are cut into small pieces, and then they are arranged in a particular pattern. The pieces are then hand-stitched together using a running stitch or other simple stitch. Once the quilt top is complete, it is then layered with cotton, wool, or other natural fibers to create a thick, warm blanket. The layers are then stitched together to create a quilt.
