This set is very nice for summer. The other reviewers were right, the colors are not as deep as the picture but I don't mind that so much. I had to iron it as it was wrinkled on arrival but once I did, it looked really nice! The cotton is soft & crisp looking too. Love the scalloped edge with blue piping; only wish the shams had it also. Overall very pleased with it though! Also, queen size comes with 2 throw pillows!
