    The Story Behind The Quilt

    Chucam is a small farming village located in the Department (County) of El Quiche, Guatemala. The community is located about 3 miles away from the town of Chichicastenango, but the road to town is not paved and access to the village becomes difficult during the rainy season. The families of the community are very poor, but the women know the ancestral art of weaving and use it as a supplemental income to provide a better life for their children. In 2001, eight Chucam families banded together to form a weaving cooperative to make beautiful patchwork quilts and other embroidered textiles. Their incomes have doubled if not tripled, and dozens of additional Chucam families have become involved. More importantly, the men don't have to leave for months at a time looking for work in the sugar cane fields and many more of the village's children are able to stay in school.

    • Guatemalan Patchwork Quilt

      As lovely as this Quatemalan quilt is, the length makes it impossible to use on most regularly measured bed. The width is long enough to hang beautifully at the sides of the bed. However the length is too short to cover the pillows and the end of the mattress. If one has a solid bed frame, this quilt MIGHT WORK. I may not have ordered this quilt had the measurements been given, but maybe that was the reason the mreasurements were NOT provided.

    • I'm Still Smiling

      I purchased the blue w/pastels quilt after reading the reviews. I like the quilt because the style and colors are unusual. I own several traditional-looking quilts. I wanted something a bit different. I was not disappointed. The colors are vibrant. The patterns are unique. The product description calls the accent colors pastel. I'd call them more jewel-toned. I don't care what they are called. They are beautiful. I am so pleased with my purchase, I ordered another in red/earth tones. I have a way of testing my decorating decisions. I leave the room. After a few minutes, I return to see if what I did looks as good as I thought it did. Every time I enter my bedroom I smile. I made a very good choice. I read in another review that the colors faded after washing. I washed my quilt before using it. In cold water, the colors do not appear to have faded. I did encounter a surprise when I pulled my quilt from the dryer. Because the backing is secured only at the edges, the quilt and backing twisted into each other while tumbling. Material in the center of my quilt ball was still wet. After carefully untangling--I was concerned that the stitching would give--back to the dryer. No to worry--the stitching is strong. However, I have found a few spots where the material unraveled, creating a few thread balls between the layers of the quilted top and the backing. I won't be machine washing my quilt again. I strongly recommend dry cleaning to avoid this issue. The laundering drawback does not diminish my rating at all. A covering this special is worth special handling.

      The colors in this quilt are vivid and beautiful! It is not to heavy and not to thin. It has a lining but no filling inside so you can use it during all of the seasons!

      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. This is a great quilt, it did come apart a bit in a few spots however, it just makes it look more authentic, I love the weight of it !
      • How accurate was the sizing? Very accurtate

    • Beautiful, not a quilt.

      I returned this as it didn't go well with a reddish brick wall in our bedroom. It is not quilted so would slip if used like a quilt. It is really a wall hanging, it has three tabs. I would have kept it as a throw even at the price, but it was not quilted so wouldn't hold together as a quilt. It is very pretty.

      • Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
      • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very well done.
      • How accurate was the sizing? Pretty good.

    • Patchwork Quilt

      I've been looking for a light spring/summer covering for my bed. I like quilts but the style of my bedroom furniture doesn't look right with a quilt. I saw this one, read the reviews and thought it might work. It does, it looks great, I love it. It's light weight but is 2 layers so adds enough to take the chill off. It's colorful without being overpowering, I bought the blue. I have a king bed so the price was not bad compared to other king coverings I was looking for. I haven't washed it so I can't comment on how it will look after, I'll be as careful as I can because I really really like this quilt. I bought a white bedskirt which I just last night put on the bed. It looks great with the blue quilt. I wasn't sure how it would go, but I'm very pleased. The one weird thing about the quilt is that one of the edges has tabs. I guess it can double as a wall hanging and the tabs are for a pole to hang it. I don't want to cut them off so I put that side of the quilt on the side of the bed that faces the wall. That way anyone walking into the room cannot see them, and really, they aren't that noticeable anyway. I'm thinking of getting the rose colored quilt as well so I can switch colors from time to time. I think a blanket paired with the quilt would be quite comfy in the winter. Maybe rose in the winter and blue in the summer. .. :)
