This is a very pretty, lightweight quilt. It matches my new paint color beautifully! The only negative I've found is that the sham zippers are quite difficult to operate. This is because they are sewn very, VERY close to the zipper teeth, leaving virtually no room for the zipper "pull" to be moved back and forth. It took me several minutes of effort to open the zippers so I could insert my pillows (though closing the zippers afterward was somewhat easier for some reason). I am using the sham-covered pillows as a decorative accent on the bed, so this won't be an ongoing problem. Just be aware of the zipper issue if you plan to take pillows in and out of the shams on any regular basis.
