Beautiful patchwork set!

I bought this blue blanket in a large size. I also bought a European pacifier set. Looks like reviews are shared between them. This is a beautiful set of patchwork quilts. Blue, at least for me, gray-blue. My bedroom is zero gray and the walls are light brown. My accent color in the room is dusty blue and the bedspread looks great. It's well made and a decent weight - perfect for summers down south, and in winter we just throw a plain white blanket over it. Gently washed and gently dried in the laundry. I was nervous based on some other reviews that it would shrink so it wouldn't reach the bottom of an 11.5 inch mattress, but I have almost 2 inches on each side. (If you have a very tall mattress, this can be a problem. You may have to cheat on the side facing the wall.) I think most quilt manufacturers these days assume you're going to have a bed skirt. European pads are very good. made and there is an excellent zipper (see photo). Even if they're a bit boring. But LISTEN: European editions look great in the Revain photo, but this bed is NOT king, more like a double. 2 pillowcases (filled) looked silly on our king bed. We decided that we would either have to buy and fit a third Euro hitch or forget about it. We've decided to forget about it and I'm going to make some mock pillows, so BEWARE if you have a large double bed. The blue quilt set looks calming and not too feminine for men to dislike. We are very happy with our new bedroom!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
