I purchased this quilt in the cream color and it's a little lighter than I was expecting. The king size fits my queen bed with a pillowtop mattress perfectly.  The detailing is beautiful and overall it's a great purchase for our new guest room.  It's a little thinner than I would want for the colder months but I'm adding a coverlet to the bottom of the bed in the event someone needs added warmth.  I followed the instructions and laundered it before putting it on the bed and it's even softer and more beautiful than when it arrived.
