I really like the quilt, but I'm disappointed with the shams. They could have done a better job with centering the pattern on them. They just don't look right against the quilt. I guess once you cover them with throw pillows it won't matter. I just haven't had time to shop for them yet. I have a queen bed with a thick mattress so I ordered the king and glad I did. A queen wouldn't have been wide enough to cover the mattress on both sides.
