I ordered this quilt to recreate a look from one of my favorite Fixer Upper episodes and planned to use it as an accent quilt at the foot of my bed. I'm majorly disappointed in the quilt shams as they do not even begin to match. I wanted to use them with the gray quilt I also ordered, but I think they would look ridiculous on the bed. I really do like the colors in the quilt (although, there are a few places that the ink looks a little smeared). The quilt will serve its purpose as more of a decorative piece so I guess I'm going to keep it and not use the shams.
