This quilt and shams made for a much different look than my floral ensemble.I wanted a change for Winter and this is it. I had to remove the other group valances,table toppers and throw pillows that matched. Now, the quilt and shams are the focal pointof my bedroom group. My furniture is antique directly from France so the bedding suits thelook just fine. I happened to have two green velvet throw pillows that are perfect also, andmy green towels and throw rugs in bath are a great match too. Very happy and will use probably til April. Since it was not a huge investment, I can use it or not.
