What does hand-stitched quilted mean and how does it differ from industrial quilting?

Hand-stitched and quilted refer to the same technique: through-stitching that joins multiple layers of fabric. The difference lies in the execution. In Fabindia Roma hand-stitched bedspreads, every stitch is made by hand by artisans who follow the contours of the block print design, creating an irregular, soft profile. The result is a quilted bedspread with a living surface, with gentle undulations that industrial production cannot replicate.

How is the cotton of quilted bedspreads printed?

The cotton is hand-printed using the block print technique, with wooden blocks carved by artisans in Rajasthan. The pigments — often plant-based — are applied layer by layer to build the complete design. Each quilted bedspread such as the Nabucco therefore displays small variations in the print that certify the artisanal origin of the fabric.

Are quilted cotton bedspreads reversible?

Yes, all quilted bedspreads in the collection are reversible. One side features the main print with full-colour design, the other a subtler coordinating motif or a solid shade. This allows you to change the look of the bed simply by flipping the throw. For example, Rose Jungle offers a pink floral side and a light-weave side, ideal for alternating different atmospheres in the same room.

How do you wash a quilted Indian cotton bedspread?

A quilted cotton bedspread can be hand-washed in cold water or machine-washed on a delicate cycle at 30°C with a neutral detergent. Avoid bleach, which could fade the block print. Dry flat or on a wide clothes airer to maintain the shape of the stitching. During the first washes, printed cotton may release slight colour — wash separately. Do not tumble dry; iron inside out if needed.

How to choose the right quilted bedspread size?

The hand-stitched throw collection includes bedspreads in various sizes. For double beds, the selection of double quilted bedspreads offers throws with generous side drop. For single or queen-size beds, the single cotton bedspreads ensure correct proportions. In the general Indian cotton bedspreads collection you will find the complete assortment of all available sizes.

Fabindia Roma quilted bedspreads are born from the meeting of hand-printed cotton and artisanal stitching. Each cotton bedspread is decorated with the block print technique and then hand-quilted with dense stitching that follows the contours of the design, creating a soft, structured surface that dresses the bed with character.

The collection gathers quilted bedspreads, each with a distinct design and colour palette. Floral motifs unfold in the delicacy of Maggiorana with its stylised sprigs, in the vibrancy of Rose Jungle on a pink ground and in the boldness of Fuxia Jungle with its intense tropical pattern. Geometries find expression in the Sultan quilted bedspread with its oriental motif and in the rigour of Montboron with its orderly lines.

Every quilted Indian cotton bedspread is reversible, presenting a main print on one side and a lighter coordinating design on the other — a detail that doubles the decorating possibilities. White Leh in its pure white serves as a neutral base, while Red Ninfa in deep red and the Proust with its literary design become the focal point of the room.

The stitching of the quilted bedspreads is executed by hand by specialised artisans who sew through three layers of cotton — printed fabric, lightweight padding, lining — following the lines of the print. This process gives the bedspread that irregular, living softness which distinguishes artisanal quilting from industrial production. For a complete coordinate, pair the bedspread with Indian cotton cushions in the same colour family and a printed cotton table runner for the dining area.

From the exotic texture of Lumas to the floral elegance of Viburno and the grace of Molucche Pink, every quilted bedspread in this collection is a unique piece that transforms the bed into the heart of the room. For specific sizes, explore the double quilted bedspreads and the single cotton bedspreads.
