I have an ivory padded headboard and needed a coverlet that blended.  The colors were perfect, the lightness of the coverlet is perfect for our FL weather.  All the stitching is great along the edges and it fits my queen size bed perfectly.  My only regret is the shams are not just a tad bigger but since they are on pillows we don't use it's fine BUT if they were on our "my pillows" they would be too small.  Great buy!
