I love the weight of this quilt! My husband and I had a hard time finding something that was heavy enough to keep us warm on cooler nights, but light enough for us to sleep comfortably year round. I only gave the quilt set four stars because I wish the queen size was just a few inches wider. We don't use a flat sheet, so often times we wrap the quit around ourselves. Another thing that disappointed me is that the pillow shams tie in the backcenter of the pillow. If you want to use the smaller printed side, you must have a pillow to cover the awkward tie. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase.
