I couldn't be any happier with this quilt set.  The quilt and shams are of high quality.  The colors are beautiful and the patchwork is not just a print. Yes...it is patchwork sewn together!  It is of medium weight and although it is summer in the NW, it is comfortable.  It washed and dried well per instructions.  Didn't notice any shrinkage.  It's always a difficult task finding a pattern/color for our CA King.  I ordered the King and by turning it the 'opposite' way, it still had more than enough coverage on all sides.  Great price and fast shipping.
