I ordered two sets for our the beds at our cabin.  I washed one of the quilts per the instructions.  We even hung it up in our basement to dry instead of using the dryer.  It faded and looks worn out in my opinion.  The binding around the pillow shams also looks like it is coming apart.  This is after just one wash before they were even used so I have concerns what these will look like over time after being on the beds and slept in.  I have added before and after pictures.  You can see that the coloring is lighter after one wash.  I bought these because I like the color scheme and design.  They should hold up better than this especially when they haven’t even been used yet.
