The global and commercial success of African prints has brought about increased creativity with more opportunities to explore them for use in quilting projects also knows as patchwork and I’m sure you can attest to how aesthetically pleasing they are. The colors and pattern repeats are truly unique and unpredictable, which is beautiful, but it can make it a little challenging to strive for the cohesion and symmetry when making the patchwork from scratch. Patchwork Ankara fabric is a quilt style that started trending when African fashion designers would combine different designs of Ankara fabric off-cuts from their tailoring work by cutting them into equal squares and joining them to form a large piece before sewing into desired styles. This process was a very creative process that required a lot of back-breaking work.

Today, the Ankara fabric manufacturing companies are making this patchwork process a lot easier by producing designs of Ankara fabric in an already-made patchwork format, saving designers lots of stress without losing the desired creativity that quilting brings. At The Bolakoka Textile Company, we are bringing you diverse patchwork design that you can begin using in your fashion projects immediately.
