We were very disappointed that the pattern was merely printed on the fabric. The photo makes it look like it is all stitching. The other thing is, that although the colors in the foto are bright and beautiful, in actuality, they are faded, appearing as if it had been washed numerous times-in hot water and detergent. Lastly, the width is not wide enough to even cover the top mattress on both sides. We are still using it, however, as a blanket underneath a better quality spread. I would not recommend this spread to anyone!
