Heritage Grid Appliqué & Patchwork Ralli Quilt 

A magnificent blend of two time-honored Sindhi needlework traditions, this authentic Ralli quilt seamlessly combines intricate cutwork appliqué (tuk) with structured geometric patchwork. Measuring 88" x 58" (224 cm x 147 cm), the quilt features a stately 5x3 grid of ornate black-and-white botanical medallion blocks. Each medallion is framed by colorful geometric patchwork bands, rows of folded dragon teeth (kangri) accents, and an outer border punctuated with radiating star motifs.

Every cutwork panel is meticulously snipped and stitched by hand, pieced into patchwork sashing, layered with pure cotton, and reinforced with thousands of fine, dense running stitches. The resulting piece carries a heavy tactile quality, rich cultural narrative, and heirloom durability.
