I like to change up my linens for the summer, pillows, throw rugs , coverlets............to lighten and refresh.  I chose this coverlet and shams in the blue for a guest room that is painted periwinkle or cornflower blue.  It is perfect.  We keep the down comforter and duvet folded up at the end of the bed for that every so often chilly night.  But this and a nice cotton blanket is really all we need for the summer's guests.
