The pattern is great, more modern than most quilts. It's also large enough that plenty hangs over the side of our pillow top mattress. It's heavier than most quilts I've seen, but still on the thin side. But, works perfectly with a sheet and blanket underneath in the winter...just a sheet in the summer. I've washed a number of times and it is starting to show some wear (mild pilling)...but overall looks and feels nice. What I'd hope for a 100% cotton quilt.
