Cotton Patterned Taupe Quilt Set

This cotton quilt is well made. The edge sewing is neat, tidy, perfectly straight on the runs, and nicely rounded on the corners. The quilting is done in a pleasing pattern, is without snags, and has no excessive hanging threads. When the quilt came it was stiff and not very soft. After washing and drying the quilt was pliable and had a lovely softness to it. I know from experience that these types of quilts will just get softer and more snuggly with use and repeated washings. Initially, it washed up easily but drying was a bit more taxing. I tried to dry it on low to avoid potential shrinkage, but it just wouldn't dry properly. I eventually switched to a medium dryer temperature and it then dried appropriately and suffered very little shrinkage. I routinely size up when buying cotton quilts in order to get a generous size and allow for some shrinkage. I put this king size on my queen size bed and it is very much to my liking. There is actually enough to come down the sides in the manner that I prefer. The quilt and matching shams look beautiful on the bed. The pattern is fantastic for its versatility. The colors range from brown to grey with everything in between. You could pair this with tan, grey, dark brown, taupe, and even that popular modern farmhouse grey/beige color. The print itself is kind of dark and it does make it look a little on the less expensive side, but again I know that this will improve with time. The dryer has a tendency to fade and dull these cotton…
