Very beautiful. The pillows in particular are stunning.
When I opened the package I was shocked at just how RED the quilt was. When I put it on the bed I started to panic and I hated it! Then I put my orange throw pillows on and it changed the entire thing! It pulled the orange colors out and now I'm loving it! If I only had the throws it came with I think I would have been returning it. I'm glad I didn't have to do that. I love it, my husband loves it and even the kids like it. The quality is great and the work is beautiful! I will be sure to dry clean it as suggested to maintain the rich colors. Overall, a GREAT product!
This fair trade item is absolutely gorgeous - reds, rusts, browns, and a hint of black. Very rich, warm colors, not gaudy. Well made. The pillows are stunningly beautiful and are a wonderful accent on the bed. Buy oversized because the quilt is fairly short. The quilt is decorative, not intended for warmth.
I had read other people's reviews before I decided to purchase this, and they were all correct. The quilt and pillows are just gorgeous and the quality is just great. I used mine to cover a sofa and love how the pillows are not matchy matchy, but coordinate beautifully.
I thought the quilt would be lighter in color based on the pics. But the quality of the fabric, the stitching is fab. I received it in record time. It is a bit darker than I expected but I have a jacket from Guatemala that needed to be washed in vinegar to set the color so I'm hoping this will lighten the color. Even if it doesn't I still love it and would buy it AGAIN! Thanks Overstock...I have been looking at this item for several years. Also, love the Egyptian cotten sheets. Just wish I had chosen a darker color....my bad, not yours. You sent what I ordered and they are great!
This quilt is beautiful, very thick and good quality material but it has an awful smell to it. Hopefully it will come out when I wash it to use it. If it does I would give it 5 stars.
Having visited Guatemala over 20 years ago, and purchasing yards of the hand made material, I appreciated the work that went into the quilt and pillow covers. It is beautiful, and heavy.
My sister had one of these in blue for her guest room and I loved it. It was warm and had substance to it so that it didn't get all crumpled. So I ordered the rust colored one for my own bedroom. It is beautiful. The piece work is sewed together very expertly and it does not appear as if it will come apart. My sister has washed hers several times and said it came out beautifully. The rust color was not quite as bright as I had hoped, I wanted a bit more orange=gold in it, but it is fine. Also, after unpacking there was a smell to the spread that I was able to eliminate by spraying with Febreeze and leaving it hung on the deck to air out for a couple of day. It smells fine now. I use it with a down comforter underneath and the spread on top. I have a king size (bed is Cal King) and the size is very generous, hangs over on each side to the side rails of the bed and there is plenty of room at each end to tuck it in. It also has just enough weight so that it doesn't shift during the night. Free Trade also sent 3 incredibly beautiful embroidered throw pillow cases that I wish I had seen before I bought the cheap ones already on my couch, They are fabulous and were included for free. I highly recommend this bedspread.
This quilt is really pretty, however, when I washed it, the color completely ran. It stained the inside of my dryer and I had to scrub off the stain with bleach. Also, even tho it's now dry, the color rubs off on clothes. I regret buying this. This is the first time I've been disappointed with an Overstock product.
I love this quilt. I am having one problem though. I washed it because it had a bad smell when it arrived and it turned everything including my dryer orange. It's on my bed now and it has turned my sheets orange. It doesn't seem like the colors in the quilt haven't faded much. Other than that it is beautiful!
My biggest complaint is that, there was only 6 squares on a queen size cover, that matched the pillow covers. I didn't care for the neon thread and neon color squares, where did that come from? A notice inside the box stated that you can't return if you open plastic cover. First time that I've been really disappointed. The dye odor disapated within a day or so. I am keeping this set because the pillow covers are gorgeous. I"ll have the cover made into a comforter cover.

Works perfect .. larger size is good for us. With the 2 dogs and husband, I now get to keep covers all night. Rich colors well made.

I hesitated before ordering this item because I was originally looking for something cheaper, but I was attracted by the handcrafted/fair trade aspect. Also, my daughter, who studied Spanish in Guatemala several years ago, had visited the co-op outside of Xela that makes these and was excited to see them available online. I am overjoyed with my purchase. The coverlet (it isn't really a "quilt" but a top with a black cotton backing) combines patches which mostly feature stripes of various earth tones, but also some needlepoint-y flowers and zigzag designs on some of the patches. The colors are lustrous and some patches have sparkly threads running through them, though I don't know whether this will last through repeated launderings. The three pillow covers each have different, but coordinating, floral embroidery on the front and a zipper opening in the back to insert an 18" x 18" pillow form. While orange predominates in the quilt, the main color in the pillows is dark red. Some other reviewers have complained about a musty smell, but mine arrived clean and odorless.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes, but the real thing is more beautiful than the picture conveys.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The coverlet top is carefully and accurately pieced, and the pillows beautifully tailored.
- How accurate was the sizing? The dimensions were as listed. The "king size" just covers my queen size Tempur-pedic mattress.
I have the throw and pillows on my couch , it is absolutely gorgeous I have had many compliments on it. I love it!!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. High quality
- How accurate was the sizing? True size
I think this ensemble offers great quality at a great value. I, too, experienced the need to air out everything just to remove a somewhat musty smell. It was gone in a couple days. It's a beautiful addition to our guest room.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Colors are pretty close; however, I wasn't expecting the backing to be orange and black. That said, it worked for the room.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is outstanding. I'm amazed that this is handmade.
- How accurate was the sizing? Sizing was perfect.
Beautiful but too small. Wish it would have fit! Had to return it. :(
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Beautifully made, gorgeous.
- How accurate was the sizing? I ordered a king size and it barely covered the top of my mattress. Not big enough but would work perfect for a queen size.
I absolutely love this quilt! I live in Florida, so I wasn't looking for anything heavy and this is more like a bedspread. The colors are very rich and the border is black. And true to the other reviews, 'she do stink!' haha But I brought it to the dry cleaners and it's perfect. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for something unique and 'worldly'.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality was good, but the backing could have been attached better. Seems like it's a large duvet that's sewn at all sides.
- How accurate was the sizing? Yes
I purchased the King size rust quilt for my daughter's college apartment. With browns in the room it looks great -- She wanted a world traveler feel to the room. I was pleasantly surprised by the good quality fabric used for backing the quilt and that there were tabs suitable for hanging the quilt if desired. Stitching appears to be good quality. The product shipped quickly. The purchase was easy - just the way I like it!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes, pictures were quite accurate.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quilt and pillow cases are as described and pictured. Some of the embroidery on one pillowcase is a bit more dark peach than rust but fits in fine.
- How accurate was the sizing? yes
This is a very nice set. The weight is heavy and looks very handmade. The pillows make it especially different and not so matchy-matchy! I'm very glad I got it!
Bought this to match various fabrics and colours so any thing close would have worked. I have to say the colour is very misleading. It is not rust and the pattern is completely, and I mean, completely different from picture. The quilt is dark brown with red strips there are absulutly no flowers or any thing close. It is all strips and is , as my husband pointed out very manly!! He loved it. After saying all this I wont go into the trouble I have been throu' to return this item. Not only that but the wrong item was sent more than once, and the UPS label was an other nightmare.
