I was looking for a lightweight cotton quilt but the pattern, price and pretty scallops on this quilt drew me in. The quilt is light and comfortable for the summer even though it is not cotton. The sizing is generous for my queen sized bed and it did not shrink when I washed and dried it. The colour is really more grey than blue though it does work with my blue accessories. The green in the pattern is actually yellow. Despite the colour issues, I love this quilt!
