Ralli are traditional quilts with appliqué and patch work handmade by women artisans of Sindh's remote areas. Every ralli quilt tells the story of the strength of tradition and motifs of rallis which have been passed from a mother to her daughter and from one woman to the other, perhaps for thousands of years. The women carefully form patterns and symbols from cloth, some simple and some complex, relying on their own memories and the memories passed down from their mothers. The variety of rilli patterns is intriguing. The motifs appear to have originated far back in the history of the Indus Region. The carvings of the desert tombs of Sindh and Baluchistan (covering about 400 years starting in the middle of the fifteenth century AD) have many similar motifs. The geometric designs in the blocks of carved stone are very similar to quilt blocks. It is a way of recycling the fabric. The layers of old material are stitched together first and then to hide it’s imperfections there is the patchwork on top of bright coloured pieces of fabric. These days these women also use motifs in the form of fancy embroidery while including glasswork or beadwork. The production/ stitching usually requires teamwork where several women can be seen sitting on a floor in a circle with the rally spread out between them as they chat or hum while they go about their work. This is the most amazing style of making ralli in interior Sindh. Within Sindh one can find several categories of designs of rallis but most beautiful design is of appliqué, embroidery and patchwork commonly known as Ghajs
