The history of Appliqué work in India can be traced back to the times when the women of the native communities of north Gujarat produced large canopies, hangings, friezes, bullock-covers, tents for ox-carts with human and animal figures stitched on them.  

The style of these cushion covers is referred to as Reverse appliqué where the cut work in the surface fabric forms the motif. The color palette of appliqué artists of Gujarat varies from warm to cool, white on white, bright and festive to natural and neutral tones today.
