This quilt is adorable.  The colors and stitching are bright.  It's soft to touch but the instructions said to wash it first and it will be even softer.  Can't wait.  I'm using it in one of the kids rooms at the beach and can't wait to see their expressions when they see the whale quilt and pillows.  Love it!  Wayfair also notified when the quilt was shipped and the day it would arrive.  Very efficient.  Love Wayfair!
