Great pop of color but you can’t “show it off” when it’s only bound on 2 sides!!  Absolutely love the colors, feels soft and looks great except for the binding thing, which is why I gave four stars instead of five. I guess it’s easy enough to ignore since the color and pattern trump the binding problem. Looks great in my son’s house with his charcoal sofas and red recliner. Btw, the binding is purple but seems to disappear once it’s layed out and walked on.
