Mainstays Octagon Quilt, 1 Each

I have no complaints about the quality or description. although I was disappointed that it did not come to shams and they would have to be ordered separately. I would recommend this quilt to anyone that is hot natured because this quilt is light enough for me to able to cover up and sleep comfortably.

I love the colors of this quilt. Although I suspect, because it is called 'Lilac Mink' reversible, that the lighter side may be the intended, but for me, the other side, a very mauvey-color is just right for my bedroom. The lighter lilac side is indeed softer than the darker side. It coordinates perfectly with my plum sheets and I can see it paired with many other colors as well. You can see it on my king-size bed (it is a queen-size quilt, so it would hang over more and fit much better on a full- or queen-size bed) and appreciate the color. What you cannot feel is the soft finish of the lilac side! I have washed this and it came out beautifully and is super soft. It is not a heavy quilt so it can be paired with a blanket for colder winter months. I think it would be fine for both spring and summer. I also have used it as a throw when watching television in the living room and the weight and feel are perfect. The close-up shot lets you see the gorgeous medallion design detailing. The design is on both sides so it is truly reversible and surprisingly elegant. Matching/coordinating shams would be a great to complement this quilt. It will get much use both on my bed and when cozying in front of the television in another room. Easy-care washing is a real plus! This quilt comes highly recommended by me for anyone who enjoys beautiful colors and textures for their home without a lot of extra work.

It is not a specific decor design, i.e. lighthouse settings, but it absolutely fits in and I love the look. It is not too frilly that is takes away from the look. It is neutral that it matches any color and it is very soft, I love the feel. There is a lot to like with this quilt, it is reversible with a darker color. With the shams it would complete the set and everything would blend in for a quite nice looking made up look. It has a heavier feel but it cocoons you with it's softness, very elegant. I will keep this look semi-permanently, it will get a lot of use. This gives you a nice bedroom feel when you walk in and see how complimentary looking it is. I like seeing this look and I always have to touch to feel the softness. It washes up easily just like your regular linen, so taking care of will not be a chore. One hundred per cent polyester and fits good, it matches especially well with my wood headboard. The shams are a must with this quilt/bedspread and this just made all my other bedspreads special occasions use, they won't get the regular use. It is also a gender neutral so either person would be able to enjoy the luxurious feel.

I guess when I think of a summer quilt I usually think of something soft, thin and pretty. This quilt is none of those except thin. I got this for my daughter's bedroom and usually she's warm so I thought this would be perfect. She said it was not soft at all. The colors are blah nothing even remotely pretty about it in person. She also said it wasn't big enough for her full size bed as there wasn't enough quilt to fully keep her covered. When I threw it in my dryer to air fluff it that didn't help either it's as flat as a pancake and looks a lot like my husband's car cover he uses. Overall I cannot recommend this quilt. It looks better in the pictures.

The Mainstays Natural Stripe Quilt is very nicely made. It's not bulky like a lot of quilts. It's light in weight and very comfortable to sleep under. It's warm and cozy. Everything you would expect from a quilt. The color is very appealing. The back of the quilt is a nice dove grey color. Because of the color scheme, this quilt can fit into many color pallets and compliment a wide variety of decorator choices. It appears very well made and I expect it will be keeping me warm for many years to come. All in all I would recommend this quilt. It's a great value, great color and very cozy. You can't go wrong!
