Vivid Blue Patchwork Quilt (Guatemala)

Vivid Blue Patchwork Quilt (Guatemala)


Add a touch of Guatemala to your home with this handmade patchwork quilt.

Created by Mayan cooperatives in the western highlands of Guatemala, this handcrafted, high-quality patchwork quilt combines vivid blue 100-percent cotton with a variety of indigenous designs and patterns running through the various patches. It's backed with black polyester fabric.

The artisans who create this piece use a variety of vegetable dyes to achieve the selection of deep and vibrant colors. Patchwork quilting is a traditional Mayan craft, using cotton patches to develop unique and vibrant color schemes with rich texture. Each quilt is made of patches from various regions of Guatemala, reflecting a variety of styles and colors. Corner tabs are sewn on, allowing your eye-catching creation to be hung as a tapestry. We strongly recommend that you hand wash your quilt in cold water and hang it to dry, or have it professionally dry cleaned.

Due to the hand-dyeing process and difference of monitor colors, some quilt colors may vary slightly. Worldstock.com tries to accurately represent all textile colors in copy. Please refer to the text above for a description of colors in this quilt.

"Beautiful quilt! Very well made, even stitching on patches, even color. Awesome color of blue! Haven't had to wash yet, so I hope it doesn't shrink!
Just wish it was a little bit bigger, but I have a new, really tall king size mattress.

By Karen from Palm Bay Florida

"The quilt has a perfect weight without the bulk. Heavy and wonderful to sleep under, my king size version is able to be washed and dried at home in cold water without shrinking or wrinkling. My husband and I feel like we are sleeping in S. America on vacation every night. I highly recommend these products from Guatemala and am looking for something now for my kids beds."

By Julie from Wadsworth, Ohio

"This is an authentic piece with a comfortable light-weight cotton feel on my bed. I hand-washed cold and hung my quilt to dry. It retained its great shape and color. This is perfect for my summer bedroom with a casual, Guatemalan feel. It has attached loops to use the quilt as a wall hanging option. I feel good about this hand-made quilt purchase and supporting Mayan business co-ops on Overstock."

"Beautiful, heavy weight and extremely eye-catching. I'm asked, "Where did you get it?!" Nice score. I also would recommend dry cleaning as opposed to washing. I've found these types of imports do shrink. Lovin' it."

By Hallie from Cocoa, Fl. USA

"I bought the king size version of this quilt. The colors are increadable, as is the workmanship. I had orrigionally bought the "aqua" version of this quilt, and had to return it because it was more of a vivid neon green. But have been very pleased with the color in the blue. it is very lightweight, wich is perfect for Florida. I highly recomend this for the price."
