I ordered a King size with blue stripes.  I really like the blanket and washed on hand wash cycle to not stretch the cotton.  Then I set dryer on AIR ONLY NO Heat!  It took a few cycles but the blanket came out a lot softer than how it arrived.  A bit scratchy.  I gave it 4 stars because of color.  In photo it looked NAVY BLUE but was really a COBALT BLUE which is lighter/brighter closer to a royal blue.  Very pretty color so I kept it.  If you take care washing it will keep getting softer.
