I love paisley, and thought about buying one of the blankets pictured here, but was amazingly surprised when a solid color blanket arrived. This being said, I must share that I have never had a blanket that was so cuddily-soft as this one is! Before I'd had time to put this blanket on the intended bed, my 2 yo grandson "took" to it, and would not let anyone take it from him. He literally dragged it everywhere he went--all through the house and onto the patio as well. I found this so cute that I didn't dare take it from him. He received so much comfort from the blanket that I was ready to give it to him. Talk about a security blanket--imagine a little tot wielding a large, adult bed-sized blanket everywhere he goes! I wound up keeping the blanket as he and his family packed up and returned home without it. I wound up purchasing one more of this blanket for another bed in my home--mine! I seriously doubt that I'll ever look further than to this lovely blanket should I ever need to buy one again! So comfortable and soft, it's unsurpassable for me!
