We saw several throw blankets on your site that we liked.  We didn't really need them, we just liked them.  We jumped right on them not wanting them to disappear before we had a chance to get them.  It's like when you see something at a garage sale that you really like but think to yourself that it might be a little overpriced.  Well, you go back the next day to get it and find that it's no longer available.  We didn't want that to happen with these blankets.  They're well made and just as advertised and expected. The colors are beautiful and the patterns are really nice.  They washed up nicely.  We have a more modern washer and didn't have any problems.  As with anything you buy these days, even your underwear, you want to wash them up before you use them.  With fabrics coming from all different countries you can never be too sure what sort of mites might be traveling with them.  Like I said, they washed up good and find.  The family is putting them to good use.
