I am always on the lookout for good bedding. When I saw this set I just fell in love w/ it! I just received it recently. I am very pleased. The quilt is very sturdy and wellmade. It is not a thick bulky quilt but I live in Tx and this is perfect in all seasons. The background is a soft tan and the floral is a dark red. The back side is a softer faded look with stripes of pale reds and tan. The shams are the same print and quilted fabric on the front side, then a striped cotton back side. The scalloped edging is really nice. It is on all four sides of the quilt and all around the shams as well. The quilt and shams fit very well on my queen size bed. I ordered the full/queen size. I have read other buyers are getting king size for queen beds. I prefer the look of the bed skirt showing and a king would have definitely covered that. It is a perfect fit for my bed. Overall I am pleased with the set. It has a soft, romantic, vintage appeal without fussy bows and ribbons. I do a cottage style decor in my home and this set really fits in. This is my third bedding set purchase from o/s in the last couple months and I haven't been disappointed yet. I have shopped a great deal for these quilted sets online and in stores and you will not find quality sets like this for overstock's price. Even a simple quilted sham elsewhere will cost what I paid for this entire set. Overstock rocks!
