I purchased this blanket in pink. The best things about it are the size (covers the whole bed, not just a throw!) and the material. Right now it's summer and I'm using it in place of my (very warm) down comforter, but the cotton/weave will be versatile enough to use it to get some extra warmth in the winter. It's not as soft as I expected based on others' reviews, however. It's a pretty thin blanket and doesn't have any stretch to it. My cat loves it :)
