The quilt is good sized for a queen bed...Sometimes quilts that are for full/queen beds are too small on queen beds.The set comes with two standard sized shams.
The colors are true to the picture - very pretty, soothing tones.  I did need to wash the quilt and shams because of an odor - not strong but a little chemical smelling.  It was fine after putting through the washer and dryer...Washed and dried beautifully.
