[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this bed spread!! Initially I thought it would be rough to the touch, but this was an example of "do not judge a book by its cover." The fabric is very soft to the touch. Also, the colors work for any season. The red and yellow work for fall while the blue and white give a summery/spring feel. Additionally, this bedspread is light enough to use during the summer, but also semi warm for the winter if you add a blanket on the super cold nights. If you sleep warm this this bedspread would be perfect for you. I am always cold so I folded the bedspread once and used it as a throw blanket on the couch and I was comfortable. The tag says "dry clean only." However, after I washed the bedspread on the most delicate cycle, I dried it for a little while on the lowest heat setting and then spread it between a couple of chairs to air dry. It came out perfectly!! (I do NOT recommend washing it on a regular cycle or using a medium/high heat setting.) I don't think that with the way the bedspread is sewn it would last long for those with dogs allowed on the bed or young children. It's a bit too delicate with all the stitching. Overall, I highly recommend this bedspread. It's soft, comfy, and will look great any time of the year.
