A beautiful light-weight cover I wanted to replace the beautiful bedspread I have. It is rather heavy, and every spring we would have to search for something lighter. We find this both light and comfortable for the Southeast Texas summers and winters. I truly like the fact that the background lends itself to the beige/taupe, as opposed to the stark white that I try to avoid, the colors truly complemented the existing window covers. I would recommend this item highly, and would make a weeding gift.
