These blankets are beautiful! I bought 4 earlier this year as an alternative to a quilt due to unusually hot weather and all I can say is wow I slept so well without getting hot and even now the weather has cooled down a lot I’m in no rush to get the quilt out as I’m warm enough with just this blanket! I’ve just ordered 2 more in a king size that have a pretty rose pattern on them ! They wash so well too and yes they do get softer with every wash! Thank you so much for producing such a beautiful blanket that not only keeps you cool but also keeps you warm!
