Was looking for a lightweight quilt since it's summer now and in Louisiana it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Found this during the Memorial Day sale and fell in love with it, plus the price was just right for me! Didn't take but maybe 4-5 days to get to me. I haven't washed it yet, but the packaging says for a softer feel wash it first, however for putting on my bed straight from the package, it feels soft and oh so comfy already. I love it - the pattern, feel, everything.
