I ordered a queen-sized quilt for my full-sized guest bed because other reviews had suggested doing that. I think if you’re using a dust ruffle, you could use a full size quilt set and it would be fine. The queen size is a little long, but still works. The color is true to the picture. I’m happy with my purchase even though I would have liked it if the quilt were a little thicker. I’ve received many complements on it. Beware when buying a quilt according to what the pictures look like. I’m convinced that the “bed dressers” use lots of fiberfill layered between the sheets, blankets, and spread in order to make it look full, fluffy, and inviting. This bed spread isn’t as thick as the pictures show, but I’m still very happy with my purchase.
