You will get many years of love from this quilt as you enjoy this piece of art that combines Guatemalan traditional colors with the American tradition of quilting where "Guatemala meets America".

The inspiration for this bold-colored lap quilt came as a way to honor the heritage of my Guatemalan neighbors. I found pictures of the traditional Guatemalan dresses and noticed that they would look beautiful as a quilt pattern. It had beautiful strips making a rainbow of dark colors mixed with small strips of light colors. From that idea, a quilt was born. 

Swirls and loops of whimsical top quilting emphasize the multiple width strips. Inside is a warm yet lightweight cotton/polyester batting. The backing is super-soft woven cotton that has a stripe pattern fabric. 

This lap quilt measures 45"x 60"

what makes a quilt...a quilt?

This diagram shows all the parts of a quilt.

Each quilt top has a uniqueness that only comes with hand-piecing a top together.

And when the beautiful quilt top is combined with a soft, warm batting and a premium cotton or cotton-linen backing, the result is a unique work of art.

How a quilt is made

How do our quilts measure up?

One reality about the quilt industry is that there are no 'standard' sizes. Crib and Baby sizes are often used interchangeably and are often both bigger than a crib. And many quilt makers and pattern designers offer just a 'bed size' option.

That is why we made an effort to clearly define our sizes, and why we picked them:

Small enough for the swing
Baby Size

Crafted with a tiny baby in mind, this size is made for use in car seats, strollers, play mats, and parent-baby snuggles. At 27 in. x 30in., it is small enough to fit properly without being too bulky for your new baby.

Bonus Feature: This size also works well as a wall hanging - no babies required to bring this beautiful quilt home.

Not intended for use in a crib

What I love: My favorite thing about this size is the versatility. I use it on cold mornings while I’m nursing the baby and then again in the afternoon while going on a stroller walk. It is so rewarding to have something beautiful to snuggle with my baby.

A Quilt that fits in the bed
Crib Size

At 32 in. x 45 in. this quilt fits within the side rails of a crib so that making the bed is a breeze, even for your child.

Bonus Feature: As your child grows, this quilt works perfectly as a lap blanket sized just for them. *Not intended for use in a crib for children under one year old.

What I love: As a mom of 5, I found it frustrating that so many crib quilts were mis-shaped and wouldn’t really fit in a crib. I wanted something that could easily lay flat and look beautiful throughout the day. This crib quilt is the perfect fit.

warm your feet in style
Lap size

Designed to fit perfectly over your feet and up to half (or more) of your upper body, depending on your height, this 45 in. x 60 in. quilt will keep you warm while relaxing.

Each combination of color and pattern is crafted to be a stunning focal piece in your living room or bedroom.

Bonus Feature: If your child is outgrowing their crib size quilt, but a twin is too big for their toddler bed, the lap size is the perfect transition quilt!

What I love: I love the bright cheerful colors of the lap quilts. They bring so much joy as I snuggle under them. So many throw blankets don’t fit over your feet, which is why my favorite part of this size is that it is long enough to keep your body warm.

 

When the baby gets bigger
twin size

The perfect size for your older child or young adult's bed, this 66 in. x 88 in. quilt drapes about 14 in. off either side of the bed.

The quilt will fit an extra long twin bed (just less tuck under the end) and will also fit a double/full bed with about in. of drape to either side.

Bonus Feature: Besides making a great blanket fort, this size can also be used as an accent piece on double/full, queen, or king size beds - simply fold into thirds lengthwise at the foot of the bed.

What I love: I love that my children have something beautiful on their bed, and that is really special to them. It is something they will keep well into adulthood because of its timeless appeal.

treat your bed like royalty
queen size

Designed to be a beautiful addition to your queen size bed, this quilt has about 14 in. of drape to either side of the bed.

This quilt can also be used for a double/full bed with a bit more drape- perfect for taller bed frames or mattresses.

What I love: I love the pop of color this brings to a room, especially for the guests that come to visit. It is so great to make my guests feel special when they rest under it.

 

a quilt fit for a (california) king
king size

Truly an impressive quilt, the 108 in. x 108 in. king is sure to give your master bed that 'wow' factor you're looking for. The large size means that there is plenty of drape along both sides and the foot of both a standard king or a California king size bed.

What I love: I love coming into my bedroom throughout the day and seeing this magnificent quilt. The beautiful fabrics mixed with a stunning pattern just bring a sense of peace and joy as I gaze upon it.
