I searched long and hard for a colorful, yet updated look, to the quilt. I wanted quality as well as looks. I found it in this quilt. I was even more pleased once I got it home. The pictures do not do it justice. The colors are so vibrant. It is the perfect weight. It's warm, yet not stuffy for Spring and Summer. The ties on the shams make this set even more adorable. I have a tall rice bed, and I normally have to buy california king styles for quilts and comforters to fit nicely. The standard king was more than enough for this. I would buy this quilt 10 times again. I truly love it!!!
