When I purchased this, the quilt set online showed the quilting threads in a dark teal on a white quilt, but when it arrived, the quilting threads were white and the light teal/turquoise was a pattern on the quilt.  It's pretty and fits the bed, so I will keep it.  I ordered a king size for a queen bed as I wanted to be sure that the sides were long enough to reach the platform and cover the mattress, and with the remarks about some shrinking with washing, I wanted to be sure it would fit.   Very often I am disappointed about the colors as they are shown and what you actually receive.  Especially with teal/turquoise.  Sometimes these colors are listed as 'blue', or 'green', when they are neither.  So, it's seems like a risk to order as you can only hope to get the correct color.  Questions sent in about color are not always correct either.
