Moroccan Spice 3-piece Quilt Set

I just put this set on the bed and it is beautiful! The color is not what I expected based on the picture though. It is not a red or maroon, but more of a burnt orange or pumpkin color. It is very striking to look at though and feels like it is made very well!

Last summer, I got a white Trousseau quilt from Overstock that is beautiful, thick, and luxurious and I absolutely fell in love with it! This winter, I decided to order another quilt that had richer colors to replace the white quilt during the fall/winter. Since the Trousseau quilt did not come in a richer fall color, I ordered the Moroccan Spice quilt set. While the colors are pretty nice, the Moroccan quilt in no way resembles the quality , beauty and comfort of the Trousseau quilt. The Moroccan quilt is a lot thinner, stiffer and cheaper looking and not comfortable at all. And I believe it even cost more! I should have returned it, but I'm hoping maybe after washing a few times it will improve, but no way would I take my Trousseau quilt off the bed. We still sleep under it and I use the Moroccan quilt for a splash of color on top of it during the day. Overall, not impressed and a bit disappointed, since I love the Trousseau quilt so much. I'll probably continue my search for the perfect fall/winter quilt next October, but I'll be a lot more careful.

I had fair warning from other reviewers that the colors on this quilt were actually brighter than one might anticipate. My bedroom walls are 'Pompeii Orange', and, upon reading the quilt described as 'pumpkin' - I thought - ' I can live with that'. - and ordered. So my dismay upon opening the quickly shipped package was tempered with minimized expectations. The colors are indeed bright - a true, deep orange, with no browns but lots of yellow tones - think over-ripe peach - and an accent of lime-green throughout the paisley pattern. The pattern itself is gorgeous,though, and the quilt of good quality - I sought a solution. Which I found in two bottles of dark brown RIT dye. I soaked and agitated the quilt and shams for forty minutes, rinsed with cold water, and threw it in the dryer. Two hours later, I had a beautiful, muted toned, luxe and antique looking quilt that washed and dried so well it feels a distant cousin to the one I opened hours before. A lot of trouble for a new item, right? I gave it five stars because it replaced a quilt that I paid more than four times as much for, and this one, now, is more soft and beautiful. I love it.

The quilt is heavy and the colors are true to the description. The stitching has a tremendously tight weave which makes the quilt extremely durable. It¿s a bit firm to the touch, but I like that. If you like weight rather than warmth, this would work for you. I use two blankets, so this works for me just fine. The pile is thin and incredibly sturdy. The design is great.
