Rust Patchwork Quilt Set (Guatemala)
Rating
;){kind=link}

This handcrafted, high-quality patchwork quilt and pillow cover set includes 1 patchwork quilt and 3 embroidered pillow covers.
Both the quilt and pillow covers combine a vibrant red/rust color with a variety of indigenous designs and patterns. The pillow covers are designed to complement the quilt rather than match it exactly. We strongly recommend that you hand wash your quilt and pillow covers in cold water and hang it to dry, or have it professionally dry cleaned.
The Story Behind The Product
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.

Very beautiful. The pillows in particular are stunning.

I hated it when I opened it
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!

Patchwork Quilt Set
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.

Quilt
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!

Disappointed
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.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes/no
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Outstanding pillow covers, but the cover leaves alot to be desired.
- How accurate was the sizing? Queen fit my full size bed nicely

- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes

absolutely gorgeous coverlet
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.

beautiful craftsmanship
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.
