Love the quilt. But didn't realize there were no shams with it. I wasn't happy that the shams weren't part of this set and cost more than the quilt. I had bought the other similar made quilt with the horizontal lines not even a year ago and the shams came with it. Felt stuck to separately buy the shams, but customer service was very nice in giving me the 10% discount I had used on the crisscross design quilt.
