This quilt is thin like a coverlet. I wanted exactly that so I am thrilled with it. It is soft to me but some may find it a bit stiff to the touch. I wanted it to go on my bed when I want a change from my duvet with it’s heavy goose down insert. I think it will be a perfect weight for summer. I also wanted something that was more suited to sprint and summer colors and this is just perfect. It is very spring like in its color palette. The orange is more of a pinkish peach color than orange. The colors are bright but not neon bright. It looks great in my room.I washed and dried it in my front load machines and removed it immediately. I did not notice any major wrinkling. It fits my bed perfectly. I will be purchasing another to rotate them when I am washing one. Since I have pets I wash them frequently. The price was great for this item which will allow me to purchase extras.
