We love our new quilt. Just moved to Florida. Tried to find something that would look with what we already had Just wanted to give everything a beach feel. Colors are a little brighter than what was shown. We even like it better. Any color sheets would look good. We were able to use what we had. It does not reach the floor. It is not a bedspread. Depending on your mattress and frame you might have to use a dust ruffle. We measured and knew that ahead of time. We are very pleased with our purchase.
