I was looking for a quilt that was large enough for our bed. Though this is listed as a bedspread, it is still everything I was looking for in a quilt: large, warm, comfortable and washable. It looks amazing on the bed and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I have gotten many compliments over the holidays. Just keep in mind that this IS a bedspread, it goes to the floor on all 3 sides and has plenty of room to cover pillows at the head. It is also reversible with a very subtle gingham pattern on the back.
