Applique Work

This is one of Gujarat’s oldest and finest crafts. The art form uses different patches of fabric in various colours and patterns that are placed together to create a multicoloured fabric much like a jigsaw puzzle. The work is used to create attractive, vibrant quilts, wall hangings, linen and clothing. The craft is popular in the Saurashtra, Banaskantha, Patan and Kutch regions of Gujarat.
