This is a beautiful white quilt which I am using as a spread.  I ordered the king although we have a queen bed.  I prefer the extra cover as my husband tends to remain asleep longer than I and is the one most likely to be making up our bed.  Also I am not using a bed skirt.  The king almost reaches the floor and definitely covered the side boards!  I haven’t yet needed to wash it but expect not problems as we purchased a similar quilt from Wayfair and stains were easily removed in our washer
