阅读理解 The best-known blanket styles of the Southwest from the late 1800''s are Chimayo style, which has since developed further in the hands of the Ortega family in Chimayo, and the Vallero blankets were woven in EL Valle, near Las Trampas, by the five Montoya sisters, in the late 1800''s and early 1900''s. The sisters were Patricia, Doloritas, Martina, Partita, and Juanita. The first three sisters were the ones who did the major portion of the weaving that are now museum and collectors'' items. But all five sisters did participate in the wool preparation for weaving the blankets. Typical of the Vallero blankets are the five stars, reminiscent of the Saltillo blanket design. The stars were placed one at each corner, with a larger star in the center. The classic Vallero blankets woven by Patricia, Doloritas, and Martina did not have a solid background color, but a series of radiating diamonds of different colors emanating from the large central star. The weaving design was then embellished with a series of small chained diamonds or vertical and zigzag lines. Along the sides was a border of leaf -like designs that are referred to as manitas. The technical skill evident in these blankets is incredible, considering the complexity of the design. Today, in the Cordova Weaving Shop in Truchas, they will use design elements of the weavings from EL Valle. With the passage of time, and hours of weaving, the weaving pattern of the Cordova family has involved into what is now called the Truchas style.
