The rallis highlighted for this year are from Lila Handicrafts, a cooperative from the Thar Desert region and Saami quilts from Badin, Sindh, Pakistan.
An article on Rallis appeared in the Spring 2006 issue of the American Quilter’s Newsletter. Art and Antiques, January 2008, had a wonderful article on quilts including a discussion of ralli quilts.
