I actually bought 2 sets in the Ivory and I'm very pleased.  I have a queen bed but it is "high".  I wanted the quilt to hang lower than normal so I bought the king set and put the king quilt on the bed.  I used the queen shams side by side then took one of the king shams and centered in front of the 2 queen pillows.  I folded the queen quilt with the coordinating stripe side showing and laid across the foot of the bed.  It makes a very pretty bedroom.  Donna
