Bagru Dabu Quilt

The Bagru Dabu quilt takes its name from the small town in Rajasthan where it is made. Bagru is famed for its traditional fabric-dying techniques specialising in vegetable dyes such as indigo and the method known as dabu, a process that has remained unchanged for centuries. Knowledge of how to mix and apply speciality dyes has been passed down through families over generations. The fabrics are dyed in small workshops often attached to the family home and then dried in open fields in the middle of town. Only 10 percent of what’s made in Bagru is actually exported which means their beautifully crafted fabrics are seldom seen outside India.

Dabu involves a process of ‘mud resist printing’. A special clay-mud mixture is prepared and applied to the fabric using a woodblock. Sawdust is sprinkled on to the mud while still wet to help the curing, drying process. Once dry the fabric is dipped into indigo dye and then washed to remove the clay, revealing a reverse-print pattern, similar to the batik method. This quilt uses “double dabu” – if you look closely you will see two different patterns overlaid.
