This is a sturdy fabric that stands up to our dog who jumps up on the bed when we aren't home. It washes and dries really well and is a nice alternative to a heavier comforter as I tend to run hot when I sleep. I took one star off for the quality of the stitching: some of the stitching through the body of the quilt had long trailing threads that needed to be cut, though the edges all look good. Also note that this "quilt" is a printed design and is not separately stitched blocks of fabric (which would have been MUCH more expensive).
