Pandemic in patchwork

A global quilting project is stitching together the experiences and hopes of people during crisis

The word quilt has a fuzzy vibe about it; something to snuggle up under and stay warm. In India, the hand-made textile has different names and makes — for some of us it's the fluffy razai or the colourful ralli, for others it's the childhood kantha. But underlying all of them is the same sense of comfort. While the world is going through one of the worst crises in history, the Corona Quilt Project (CQP) is documenting our varied experiences through that same instrument of comfort. Originally, the brainchild of Vadodara-based leadership coach Shruti Sonthalia and USA-based Gina Kellogg, who runs Kellogg Sisters Feed & Seed, the project, which took off in May, has since roped in co-creators from across the world, including Neha Modi, Dia Mehhta, Samyukta and Pri Shewakramani from India.
