What a beautiful quilt! It is quite elegant and cozy at the same time. The fact that it is reversible is a definite bonus because depending on the pillows I have on my couch I can easily switch from patterned side to solid and it always looks beautiful. I followed the advice of other reviewers and washed the quilt a couple of times in cold water before using it to remove the new quilt stiffness. Excellent advice! Another plus is the fact that it is very pet friendly. We have two small dogs who are couch lovers and it is nice to know that this quilt will not catch on their claws like our previous knit blankets did. It is the perfect TV blanket and we love it so much that we had to purchase another because sharing one became quite difficult! Excellent purchase and it will last us a long time.
