First, the quilt itself is very thick and soft, and I love the light color. However, the flowers are raised, and I am afraid after a wash or two they may come off or fray. I have dogs, and although this will be in one of my guest rooms, I would not want them near it as they may chew the "flowers." At first I thought the shams were too small, but once I put the pillows in they fit perfectly. I want to note I have this on a queen bed. Overall, I like how it brightens the room, and will be cozy for my guests.
