Love this quilt. It is colorful patchwork on one side and hot pink on the other side, the quilt is edged in the hot pink. It comes down on the sides to meet the top of the box spring. The photo shows it longer on the sides than it is, but it covers the blankets underneath it. The sham looks great with it, and is one you tuck the pillow into. Takes a large "standard size" pillow to look best. I have a hot pink throw on the end of one of the twin beds. All in all.... Happy with the look of the set of twin quilts in my NJ beach house bedroom, decorated with white furniture. Looks great.
