I am very pleased with this Laura Ashley Reversible Quilt Set. It is very soft, and it fits my decor perfectly. I purchased a twin size, which came with the quilt and one sham. I washed them according to the instructions on the tag, and it was fine. The quilt and sham fit in my home washing machine with no problems. I went with a quilt, because I get so hot at night while sleeping! I find comforters are just too heavy. The weight of this quilt is just perfect for me.
