I just love this set. The quilt is light weight and perfect for the southern climate all year round. As others have remarked, the pattern on the quilt is only on the lower 2/3 with a large band at the top (pillow area) and a slimmer band at the bottom without the colored pattern. I find the choice of design interesting and different; at first, I thought it would bother me but I have gotten used to it. Overall, I just love the feel of the quilt and the colors I chose were perfect for me.
