I needed a light (pale) pink blanket for my daughter's room, for home staging, which it turns out is extremely hard to find. The color of this blanket worked and I thought I'd put it over her existing bedding. It is such a soft blanket, which my daughter loves. It is very thin - she does not notice the extra blanket at all when she is under the covers. It was perfect for my purposes, but also think it would be good for summer. It might be a little too thin for cooler seasons.
