This is my second quilt collection purchased within one month!The Throw was purchased to compliment the quilt of the same pattern.The colors are very vibrant and the material is very good quality, not flimsy at all. Although I have not washed the quilt or the throw yet I did wash the pillow shams and they came out of the washer and dryer exactly the way they went in .... no shrinkage whatsoever!  If cozy, comfy and a flair for cottage is your style, go for it!I cannot see where you will be disappointed.
