I was searching for days and days, ordered a different comforter, returned it, kept searching. I was sure I was going to have to get used to what ever bedding I ordered. Decided I'd try a quilt since they fit in washer and are longer lasting. Never had a quilt so was afraid I might not like the fabric or it would look outdated or too country for me but I have to say I put this set on my bed and was in love! got a size larger than my bed so it falls long and bought new fluffy pillows to fill the shams and my bed looks better than the picture. It's very soft and comfy , not like some others. Very beautiful, not over the top and goes great if you have purples /plum colors in your room. Thought I would regret this but was more than satisfied. Love my new bedding!love love love it! And I was very picky.
