I got this quilt without even realizing that pinsonic means they don't use thread to connect the front and back, it's kind of melted through in the pattern. This seems weird, but I've had quite a few quilts where a thread gets caught to breaks and the whole thing starts to fall apart - that won't happen with this. It's light enough for summer, and will go great on top of a thicker blanket in winter. This is a great bed spread.
