This quilt is a beautifully appointed cotton velvet quilt embroidered with small dots that frame the center of the bed when placed accordingly. The embroidery creates a frame inside a frame overall pattern. This embroidered dot placement is repeated on a smaller scale on the shams. The quilt features a solid coordinating cotton back. The shams which are sold separately feature a solid coordinating cotton back and a split back for ease of fill. The shams are knife edged in construction.
