This throw is the perfect match to the quilt set it coordinates with. I bought it to use elsewhere in the room. A good piece to carry the theme. It is light weight and feels of a nice quality cotton. I love finding cotton, since most bedding  items on the market are synthetic. As I read in other reviews it does have an odd smell. Others reported washing it did the trick. I am happy to imagine what the finished guest room will look like. I think my visitors will love the cheerful room I'm planning around the inspiration of this happy pattern.
