    Story Behind the Art:

    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. 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.

Not really a quilt

marsincalifornia from Santa Rosa, CA, Nov 18, 2009

Although I would not call this product a 'quilt', as the top is pieced fabric but has no quilting stitches binding the top and bottom fabrics together, it is well worth the money. A friend of mine purchased the rust-colored quilt, so I decided to buy the gold one. This thing is beautiful!!! The fabric on the top is fine, a much denser fabric than a typical quilt. It is backed with a plain black cotton fabric and has tabs on one side for hanging, if you choose. But mine is on the bed where I can use it and really enjoy the feel of this fabulous fabric.Also, I have a queen-size bed, but bought the king-size, which offers enough fabric to hang well below the mattress itself and has enough fabric to cover the pillows in the fashion of a bedspread.

I purchased the red/earth Patchwork quilt from Guatamala and it is very nice, the colors are true and the workmanship is excellent. I am using it draped over a brown leather couch and it looks great. I would recommend this item to anyone wanting more color in a room.

Patchwork quilt

loriloutwo from Seattle, WA, Oct 2, 2009

Beautiful colors - I got the red - and very nice, heavy cotton quilt. I bought the king size for my queen bed and it's nicely oversized. Very warm but not overly so. I would buy another in a different color - actually I may! I have not washed it yet but it is heavily stitched so I do not anticipate an issue.

Very nice looking

devinrh from UT, Oct 1, 2009

The quilt is very sharp looking - vivid colors and appears to be well made. I fully support the concept behind Worldstock!

So Sad

priscillaq from WI, Aug 6, 2009

So sad this wasn't as good as I hoped. I thought the patchwork pieces would be all woven--most were just fabric with a few woven pieces as part of the patchwork pattern. Some of the woven pieces were very loose weave and they puckered up..I was afraid those would catch and tear real easy. The biggest disappointment was the backing. One giant piece of lightweight black fabric...not stitched down, not tied down anywhere...like a quilt or comforter should be...only attached around the edges..I did return the quilt for a refund..and do have to give Overstock.com 5 stars for the return process.
