Its funny when I looked at it outside it was folded up on a hanger. I really did not know how big or what the pattern was. My DH made sure we did not leave without it. I have a hard time when it comes to stuff like this. I never know if I want to spend the money on it.

Now that I have it I am soo glad I did. Yes - the pieceing looks really good and although I don't know I would choose those particular colors I am sure we will find somewhere wonderful to put this in our house. We have quilts in almost every room now :)

Thanks for the input. Now I know what my next project will be!
