Ralli quilt

Ralli, Rilli or Rillki quilts are traditional quilts of Sindh, in southeastern Pakistan, and the surrounding regions bordered by the Bahawalpur region of Punjab, Rajasthan and the Kutch region of Gujarat.[1][2][3] Traditionally, they were made of cotton, but synthetic fabrics have increasingly been used since the late 1900s.[4] The types, colors, and designs of ralli quilts vary depending upon the area in which they are made.[5] There are different types of ralli making, three of which are widely known. These include appliqué, patchwork, and embroidered ralli.[6][7][8][1] All rallis are handmade by women artisans of Sindh's remote areas. Embroidery designs and motifs indicate the nature, geometric and floral patterns from the area's ancient civilizations. Mothers used to explain several inheritance patterns to their daughters.[1]
