The all cotton quilts are perfect bedding for warm climates. There is no padding between the two layers of quilt making them lightweight. I ordered the twin size and they are just the right size for the beds. The colors in the quilts are sage, lime and dark green with accents of a mauve, pinkish flowers on a white background. The back of the quilt is lime green with with white polka dots. The shams are large enough to accommodate a queen size pillow. Standard pillows will work also. The back sides of the shams are also lime green with white polka dots. I have washed the shams and they did not shrink in warm water and also came out of the dryer fine. I dried them on low heat. If you need lightweight bedding that will hold up to washing and drying, this is a great set. In cooler weather, you would need to add a blanket to the bed for warmth. The shipping took about a week. The price was fairly reasonable. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase.
