I bought this quilt set on another website about 6 years ago. It is gorgeous and the cotton fabric is soft and durable. I throw it in the washer and it comes out beautifully. It is still in excellent condition. However, after six years of washes, I hadn't realized how faded the colors had become. My new one is fresh and vibrant. I bought it so that I could switch it out with my old one. This quilt is the centerpiece of my bedroom and I have a dark green feature wall behind the bed that enhances its beauty and ties the room together.
