First the good. I bought the rust colored one a few years back and loved it so much I bought it again. The blue color is very nice too. Has an ethnic elegance that is above the cheap touristy schlock. The quilts are really covers as they are not thick, but do look great on the bed. Remember, layers is what keeps you warm! The bad: Like some quilts, durability is an issue. Wash it carefully. As it is made of several different woven fabric patterns, the more ornate ones are fragile. Second the color does run quite a bit. I bought the rust one again since it faded so much over the years. The fade was a nice look, as it brought out the native pattterns in the fabric before the overall dye job. That said, expect it to look quite different with washings. Overall: For the money you can't complain and it does look great. Buy the king size even if you have a queen bed, as it seems to be undersize and does shrink a bit with washing.
I have never written a review on anything before though I shop online all the time. This quilt is breathtaking! I gasp when I opened it. The picture doesn't come anywhere ner doining it justice. It is vibrant, beautifully stitched. The perfect lightweight quilt for living in a warmer place or for topping a down comforter. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quilt in this style
This quilt is a beautiful dark blue BUT, think very carefully how you will use it because the fabric dye is not permanent. It might be O.K. on a chest as part of your decor if you are willing to just bat out dust or dry clean. But I put this on our bed and found that moisture will make the blue bleed. After going to bed with wet hair I have woken up to a blue neck, and my dog licking her paw on the bed has made blue marks through to the sheets. So I was really forewarned when it needed cleaning. Not being in a habit of paying dry cleaning, and the tag says "Dry clean or hand wash separately" I tried the hand wash. Now I have many blue items. Since the blue was everywhere, getting it dry was the biggest problem. Even my clothesline would have been blue!
first time buyer...extremely pleased with appearance and quality of product. Loved, loved, loved the bed coverlet. Amazing blue color is more than I expected, and am pleased with the expedient delivery of this item. I will definately buy other items in the future Satisfaction was a plus from this buyer
I bought the patchwork multi colored one. Called the pastel, it is somewhat muted but with a lot of color and bright patches with embroidery mixed in. I wanted a lighter weight quilt for warmer weather and this works great. The backing is a thin black material and one end does have loops to make it a wall hanging. But mine is working great as a bedcover. Ordered the king for my queen bed and it's perfect.

This is a beautiful piece, and the colors are rich, but it has to go on sideways to reach the frame, and cover the mattress. I will remedy this with a piece of fabric around the edge, as suggested by another buyer. My other issue is the color- not so rich a blue overall- more of a turquoise - but it works in the room, and I love the handmade feel. I like that it is supporting the artisans, and will purchase more products from the world store.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? no, more turquoise than deep blues
- How is the quality of the product? well made, sturdy
- Did the product fit true to size? no, smaller than I thought
This is a beautiful bedspread. I say bedspread because there is no inner lining between the front and the back. It is stunning with vivid patchwork throughout and a wonderful balance of color and pattern. Runs true to size in the king. The quilt part is the hundreds of joined and gorgeous patchwork pieces, Beautifully made of nice weighty cotton.(90%). Highly recommend just know that it is not rose pastel. All colors and balanced and strong!
We were very pleased with the vibrant color of this quilt. Although not very thick (it's more like a coverlet) the color matched our bedroom perfectly. The hand craftsmanship was excellent. Recommend for someone who doesn't want a thick quilt.
This is a very unique & beautiful quilt. The quality of this quilt is perfect, worth every penny!
Well, I was very excited to get this product. The picture does not do it justice. The various colors are very vivid, and so varied. Just beautiful! BUT, I was sooo disapointed when the stitching started to come apart after just 2 weeks! Just sitting on the bed unraveled the stitching. My quilt had loops on one end(?) Maybe it's just mean't to be a wall hanging. I don't know. It's a shame because it's really beautiful. Also BTW, There is no batting in it (like an actual quilt). It's more of a coverlet.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes, the color an fabrics used,are beautiful.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very poor stitching. Not sewn to accomadate differneces in fabric thicknesses. The patches came apart with just sitting on it, I've had to sew it twice and I've only had it 2 weeks. NOT DURABLE!!
- How accurate was the sizing? Fit my queen size bed perfectly.
First I want to say Love this quilt. Had saved a long time to purchase it. That said, instead of lots of blue swatches of material they took the other quilt and dyed it whole in a blue die. It still looks fantastic for my bed. Speaking of which, I expected a Quilted quilt with cotton batting. What you have instead is paramount to a duvet cover of sewn together swatches which had tabs on it for hanging on a wall or use as a curtain. The materials are organic cotton, it still is weighty and warm, but it is not "Quilted" and has not batting.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes

This item is NOT RETURNABLE! Had I realized that, I would not have ordered it. very expensive for a quilt, and it isn't really a quilt. It is a pieced coverlet with no quilting stitches. Because of the dye issues others have stated, I was leary of keeping it when it didni't work out for my original use which was to hang it on a wall. It is pretty and obviously handmade, but for a hanging, it is too monochromatic. It is pieced, but not quilted, so there is nothing that makes is pop on the wall except the vivid blue, Unfortunately, without more handwork, that just looks like a large dark blue square; not interesting. Turns out I can't return it. Didn't realize that. Make sure it is what you want before you buy; don't buy as a possibility like I did thinking you can return it.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? okay
- Did the product fit true to size? didn't measure
its nice. red quilt not as bright as in the picture. Seem to be more of the "dull" squares than bright south american looking ones
The description is accurate - the colors in the quilt truly are vivid. Many bright and dark blue hues. I have cherry wood furniture and was hoping the quilt would bring out its deep reds and purples, which it does. I have a queen-sized bed and bought the king size quilt - I recommend this as it fits well (slightly large but certainly not awkward-looking). It's not very heavy - I put a heavier cotton blanket underneath it and, with flannel sheets, I am never cold. The quilt is well-made - the blue cotton feels nice to flop on and the black backing seems sturdy. I highly recommend.
The quilt looked really nice online and when I received it. It had a slight smell to it, probably from the dye. I washed it in my washer using the hand wash/delicate cycle. It came out in one big clump and with blue dye on my hands when I handled it. I then dried it in my dryer under the delicate cycle. It also was one big clump each time I pulled it out of the dryer. It took three cycles to dry it and I still had to drape it over a sofa over night for it to fully dry. Each time I took it out of the dryer, my hands turned blue. In fact, the walls of my dryer are blue. I should have taken it to the cleaners to dry clean. It is now on my king size bed but looks a little small. I give it three stars despite me throwing it into the washer and dryer. The quilt is also very thin, but very bright.
Nice mid-weight guatamalan blanket, fairly true to colors on screen. Looks great on the bed and is very comfy. The King size is large enough to fit a King size bed easily with ample drape to not look short. Hem-stitching around bed has tapestry like loops on one edge, I guess if you wanted to hang it on the wall?? I found that odd and one of the loops just randomly already fell off; but I did find that a bit odd for a blanket I planned to use on the bed. However, I may buy a another one in a different color because overall I liked it so much.
