I love, love, love this quilt and shams. The random patchwork look is fun and the variety of colors allows it to go with just about any bedroom color scheme. The colors did appear slightly more faded than they appear on screen, but I understand colors in real life and colors on a screen/photo can appear very different. I was impressed with the weight of the quilt, heavier than the comforter I am used to, but definitely not too heavy. Prior to placing on my bed, I gave it a short cold wash in the gentle cycle just to take that "new" smell out. I dried it on low heat, and it held up beautifully. No loose threads or seams pulling apart. I will be a repeat customer when in need of bedding again!
