Rafiq Bhai says that the word Sujani is derived from “Sujvu” which means to “conceive” or to “have an idea”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a woven padded double cloth where rectangular pockets are created by means of interchanging the warp and the weft at specific intervals. Cotton fibre is stuffed in these pockets to create ready, handwoven quilts. The craft requires two people to work simultaneously from either side of the loom, alternatively throwing over the shuttles and weaving in perfect co-ordination. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe loom used to weave a Sujani quilt is a frame loom with 8 shafts and two sets of 8 pedals that the two weavers operate simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt present, only a single family is left to practice this craft on the traditional loom. The other families who used to practice the craft have moved to other occupations and disbanded their looms, while another family of artisans is practising Sujani on a modified loom. Rafiq Bhai, his brother Ameen Bhai, his wife Sayra Banu and their daughter Fathima Banu are the last artisans working on the traditional Sujani frame loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Blue Tikda\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection ‘Rafiq ni Sujani’ aims at expanding the boundaries of what Sujani quilts are traditionally known for by introducing newer colors, patterns, sizes and placements keeping the technique intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sujani breaks the boundaries of the conventional checkered\u003cbr\u003epattern in a Sujani by reinterpreting it with pockets or tikas of different\u003cbr\u003esizes scattered all around! Pockets of different sizes are placed in a\u003cbr\u003eway that the grid keeps changing. It creates a sense of movement as\u003cbr\u003eyou look at it. After we received this Sujani from Rafiq Bhai, we\u003cbr\u003ethought, “Why not have a surface design framing the Sujani?” The\u003cbr\u003eresult is the thick contrasting border with tikdas rhythmically placed all\u003cbr\u003eround!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are able to spot the mismatched pair of socks in this\u003cbr\u003eSujani, that's when you know which side you have used previously \u0026amp; avoid changing sides while using it everytime!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e52\"*80\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned By\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandwoven by Rafiq bhai and his daughter Femida Banu from Bharuch \u0026amp; Applique by Sumi \u0026amp; Jaya from Ahmedabad.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWash Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry cleaning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will take approximately 25-30 days to ship; from the day payment is received.
