This is a beautiful bedspread and the colors are exactly matched to the photo. Since the bedspread is reversible, it is slightly thicker than it would otherwise be giving it a better quality feel. The shams are zippered so they are reversible sides as well. I recommend washing and drying it before you use it as it will soften it. I washed in cold water and had no color bleeding, nor did the comforter fade, get pulls or lint balls in the dryer. 

I purchased a full/queen for my daybed that has a pull out trundle so when I turn the daybed into a double sleeper I can make up the bed as a queen instead of two individual twins. I've folded the quilt in half and then exposed a little bit of the blue side toward the back (the quilt doesn't change patterns like that on one side).
