I love the vibrant color and the quilting seems really nice.  The thread has a slight sheen and looks pretty even with just the light on.  Its soft to the touch and not noisy. I know an odd thing to say, but my last quilt made noise when it rubbed on itself or my ear.  Had a slight smell, but I think that may have been from the packaging, your typical plastic zipper carrier.  All in all excellent for the price
