Huipil:  blouse worn by indigenous Guatemalan women.  Several of us took the Priscilla Bianchi tour to Guatemala in spring 2009.  We bought used huipiles in a thrift/folk art market in Antiqua.  The quilt includes the neck opening with hand embroidery and the hand woven panels (a weft inlay technique) from the front and back of the garment.  The quilt includes handwoven Guatemalan yardage, a bit of an Alexander Henry folkloric print, and a stripe designed by Priscilla Bianchi and printed by Robert Kaufman.
