I was a little afraid the quilt would look cheap.  However, was wrong.  The blue is soft and beautiful and the quilt is a generous size.  In my white and cream bedroom,with mahogany traditional furniture, this quilt adds just the right amount of fresh color for interest.  I may never use the pillow shams (too much for me).  Like like things simple and I love the look of this quilt folded at the foot of my bed.
