This blanket does not get seen very much because I use it as my warmth blanket under my quilt. But it is perfect. And so gorgeous. The pattern is everything and I would totally use it as an outer blanket as well, maybe Ill buy the white one to compliment my charcoal bed frame better. Oooh. But Ive been using it since May, it has never been too hot and when I get cold it is absolutely perfect. So glad I bought this.
