I was very hesitant to order a quilt and shams online, as it can be hard to tell the true color and quality, however, I am SO happy with this purchase.  The quality is fantastic with very detailed stitching, the color is a "barely off-white" -- soft and lovely, and it is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos.  It also fits my bed (queen size sleigh bed with a 15" high mattress and half-height box spring) perfectly.  I am very, very happy with the purchase.
