It is perfect for what I wanted. Just thick enough for summer into fall nights. Large enough to cover my king-sized bed well (no yanking the covers from my partner during the night!) REALLY pretty has bright colors, and seems quite well-made. No... it is NOT patchwork, by any definition. It is a printed patchwork pattern with stitching if you care about that. I knew that when I bought it and I'm very happy with my purchase.
