I ordered this blanket because it is over-sized and able to serve as a beautiful bedspread, also. It is not bulky like a comforter, but is quilted and warm and has a soft sheen which makes it very attractive. We paired it with the Supreme Warmth Fleece Blanket, also sold by Great Offer Stock, and feel we are set for the winter. In warmer weather we can use the Echelon Home Monterey Quilted Blanket alone.
