When I was shopping for a new quilt, I wanted a fresh white look, lots of fluffy pillows - you know the kind that you just want to jump in and crash! I certainly achieved it with this purchase. Even though I have a queen size bed, I purchased the king size format because I wanted to avoid having to put a bed skirt. The king size is just so perfect! It comes down the sides of the mattress long enough (not quite to the floor). The two pillow shams that come with the quilt are also king size and with a splash of colour to my other pillows, I have a wonderful presence of style and comfort look to the overall room. Would certainly recommend!
