I had been looking at the sham on another site and it cost more than I wanted to spend so I checked on Amazon and there it was and on sale it is very colorful and soft after washing I only wish she had the matching quilt in queen sizeI was pleased with this bedroom set. I like the southwest look without being an Indian print,I haven't had a new quilt in several years. I didn't want to spend the money but I didn't want a cheap one. I live in the southwest Arizona and I'm kind into cacti. However, I didn't want to go overboard with a theme room. I love this design. It's just as bright as it is in the photo. I wanted cotton which is not terribly easy to find. I have very sensitive skin and this is so soft. I have not washed it yet. I absolutely wash everything before using it. I am waiting to get a new bed. This quilt needs a bed without a big foot board. Just buy it. You will love it.
