Woodland Retreat 3-Piece Tan Full/Queen Quilt Set

Looks good..fits good.. nice weight. Not too light.not too heavy.

This forest-inspired quilt is my first 100 percent cotton quilt from C&F Home. It's not quite as substantial in feel (soft/thick) as some of the other cotton, vermicelli-stitched quilts I own from lesser-known brands but the stitching was tight and it washed well. Buyers should note that while it is advertised as preshrunk, it is also indicated on the care tag not to machine-dry the quilt. Since my no-name quilts indicated that they, too, are preshrunk — but also possible to machine dry on low — C&F Home's care instructions are at odds with the advertising (preshrunk cotton). It's likely that line drying is recommended to avoid fading, which cotton is prone to doing in a dryer, but just the same it was disappointing to note that machine drying is not recommended. (I've since bought a C&F cotton throw and the care instructions are identical so I'm guessing that machine-drying is not recommended for any of their 100 percent cotton products.) Although I am happy with the pinecone print, I am in the predicament a lot of Queen bed owners are insofar as I had to decide between buying the correct size (which could run short) vs. oversize (King). I went with King on the assumption that it will shrink some — which it did slightly because I went ahead and machine-dried it — but I still had trouble with the fit. On my sleigh bed, which sits high off the floor, the 108" quilt drop overshot the rails (workable but long). Rotating the quilt — which this pattern thankfully allows for — meant that the 92" length, when turned 180 degrees, was too short (failed to conceal the box spring). I ended up using this quilt on a lower-to-the-floor guest bed, which sits on a half height foundation. This allowed the 92" length to work as the side-to-side measurement (width), with the excess folded back at the head of the bed. Unfortunately, buying a King for a Queen bed also meant I was stuck with King shams, and while some manufacturers offer matching shams separately this pattern does not. Since I mix-and-match bedding, this wasn't a deal breaker for me but I sure do wish bedding manufacturers would get the message: 1) Stop combining Full/Queen bedding; 2) Cut your Queen bedding 94Wx92L instead of 92"x90" so that Queen bed owners don't have to roll the dice on fit! On a final note, I will comment on the color of the quilt, which seems to be the main source of confusion about this Woodland Retreat pattern. The background color is what I would consider to be a traditional khaki. As a point of comparison, you can see two linen-colored throw pillows on either side of the King-size sham in my review photo. When compared to the throw pillows, this quilt does appear greenish-yellow — i.e. khaki. Still, I wouldn't go so far as to describe it as a mustard shade. Chances are, if you have a lodge- or cabin-theme going it's going to fit right in. That said, all color is relative to its surroundings. If the surrounding walls are beige or tan — without any green or yellow undertones to tie the paint color into this quilt — the results may clash. Since my walls are green-hued to begin with, it wasn't an issue.

Decided not to use the product.

High quality product and quick delivery.

Very nice quality. Price was good. Looks wonderful.

Love my bed spread. It is made well and I love the pine and wood.

Picture is poor representation of this product. Print is very big and the background is a mustard gold, not the off white it appears to be. I was disappointed with this product.
