This 100% cotton quilt has a good solid weight to it. Featuring a main background of sturdy unbleached woven cotton fabric along with 5 other beautiful woven fabrics and one sweet flowered print, this quilted throw has been made with use in mind. Throughly machine quilted, to help insure a long and beautiful life. (The quilting on a quilt isn't just decorative... it provides a function. If a quilt isn't quilted enough, the batting inside can begin to separate, and bunch up, especially after washing... who wants that?) And best yet, it's completely machine washable and machine dryable. In fact as a final finishing in its construction, I have already washed and dried this quilt, (using dye-free, fragrant-free, environmentally friendly detergent and softener) to help bring out it's cuddly nature, and fabulous texture!
