Love the colors of this quilt! It makes a pretty, lightweight bedspread and it's 100% cotton, even the batting.  It's not real patchwork, but I had to look hard to see that. Maybe it'll last longer than my patchwork ones that always seem to fall apart at the seams. I like that it's reversible too. Even though I probably wouldn't use it on the tan checkered side, it's a nice touch--nicer than plain white or tan. My only complaint is it seems  a little stiff, but I'm hoping it will soften with time. I haven't washed it, so maybe that will do the trick.
