I have been looking for a faux fur quilt EVERYWHERE- and by that I mean that I have spent numerous hours searching online going from store to store, My search included major retailers and small businesses. Among the many options I found - this coverlet stood out to me the most for it's beautiful pattern, scalloped edges, reasonable price, and perceived soft texture. The color is definitely Ivory in-person, so don't go by the slightly Off-White pic that you see here. I was open to the White color that you see in the product's pic or a traditional ivory color, so I made this purchase with no strict color expectations. I haven't washed it yet - so I am not sure what to expect when I do. I can tell you that I look forward to laying down on my bed everyday when I am leaving work, because this coverlet feels like Christmas morning to me - it's really that soft.
