This beautiful bedspread graces my king bed in my condo in Costa Rica - it brings in the vibrant spring green from the lush terrain outside my windows! The workmanship is truly excellent. The ivory stripes part of the spread are a complex woven column design in warm ivory and soft grey with ivory cross-stitch bands, and go beautifully with the soft gray of my walls. A very subtle green on green stripe is woven into the green field of the coverlet.The fringe is hand tied on both sides and the bottom edge of the cover. The weight of the fabric is quite substantial - it feels like a very heavy and textured linen weave and has an excellent hand for a coverlet, so it does lie smoothly on the bed. Simply lovely and a worthwhile investment! I added blue and green batik style cotton pillows, but I do wish there were shams to go with this! Beautiful work!!

I am so impressed by the quality of this item! The color is gorgeous (I got the blue) and I love it! While I was expensive for me (a senior on a fixed income) it is worth every penny!

This bedspread is beautifully made and is just what I was looking for. The size fits my bed perfectly and this shade of yellow goes with curtains woven on a back strap loom in Guatemala. I am so pleased with my purchase. Viva Mexico and the wonderful artists who create lovely things for us to enjoy. Gracias a la Sra. Ruiz.
