I'm clueless when it comes to decorating, and shy away from color and girly things. I prefer a more clean, contemporary look. In other words, boring. Yeah, so I have no skills in that department. So I saw this and I liked the colors and realized it would brighten up my otherwise drab room, and I talked myself into it only because it was on sale. I have a queen bed, but got the king size, since my experience is quilts don't seem long enough for queen beds, and I want to cover up more of the foundation. It's a little lighter in weight than I expected, but should do for spring and summer. Easy to get plain sheets to go with, like the photo. Haven't used or washed it yet, so I hope it holds up. I like it. It's totally not "me."
