Rated 3 out of 5 by onereviewer Too Small for Bed
This quilt is beautiful and the quality is excellent EXCEPT that a quilt, particularly a qult in this price range, should be adequately sized to fit the bed it is intended for. I have a queen size bed and had been looking at this for a long time. I finally ordered it and loved everything about it except the size. LLBean, if you are going to offer a full/queen size the quilt should fit a queen bed which this one does not. I have to turn it sideways on the bed for it to cover the mattress side to side. That leaves a gap of approximately 12 inches at the top which is totally uncovered. Luckily I ordered the matching shams so this kind of covers the gap, but I am majorly dissappointed. Maybe you should consider offering a full size AND a queen size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MollyosMom Cheerful, intricate quilt.
Ordered the F/Q size and I am very pleased with it. Before using it, I washed the quilt in an extra large capacity front load washer with cold water and hung it to dry. It did not shrink, fits fine and looks very nice on the queen size bed. As someone else said, "It makes me smile every time I walk in the room". It gives a cheerful look to the bedroom which will be most welcome this winter.

I purchased this quilt for our lake house bedroom. The color scheme is beautiful and the quality is excellent. I thoroughly recommend this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KauaiMama Beautiful, but not preshrunk
I love this quilt! It is beautiful, intricate, and makes me smile every time I walk into my bedroom! :-)
When reading other reviews before my purchase, I noted concerns that the Full/Queen size was too small. Yet, I measured my non-pillowtop bed and felt the Full/Queen size would be more than adequate. It was, until I had to wash it. In my humid climate it would have been impossible to follow the care instructions and line dry this quilt. So into the dryer it went on low and out it emerged several inches smaller in all directions.
Every quilter knows to wash and preshrink fabric before cutting and quilting. Please require this for your quilts and you will avoid shrinkage problems.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bethnmass Quilt is beautiful
I love this quilt...the only little problem is that it definitely runs a little small if you have a pillow topper mattress. I am still using it for my King but I would order 1 size larger if you are ordering for a smaller bed. Also...the white in it is a little creamy white so a white dust ruffle doesn't look good...need an off white one.
seems very well made and worth the money.

I have spent a year trying to find the right shades of blue that would work in my bedroom. This quilt is perfect. I have washed (and dried it even though they say line dry) and it took some of the stiffness out of it. It's a bit rough but hopefully it will soften with age. It really worked great with my furniture, lamps and wall paint.

Rated 2 out of 5 by seapearl Not what I expected
Check your measurements before purchase. My queen size quilt is too short for my standard queen size bed. The fabric is not what I expected from LL Bean especially for the price. I doubt if this quilt will stand up to many washings. Probably should have made my own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyFamily Perfect colors. Quality Quilt
The striking colors in this quilt allow you to pair it with a variety of decorating shades - blues, greens, sand, off-white, possibly peach walls. Very versatile. I looked around because I didn't want an average comforter and found this well-made quilt fit my needs perfectly. I'm sorry to see it's no longer offered in Queen and find the shams are no longer available.

We're really enjoying this quilt. It's so warm and pretty; the web site photos really don't do it justice. I love the pincushion pattern; it's one of my favorite. It's heavy enough to keep us toasty without being too heavy. Thanks, LL Bean, for another quality item!

This quilt is absolutely beautiful, I ordered the blue down blanket that is pictured in the catalog as well and I can't wait for the cold weather to use them. A little pricey, but it is worth every penny, beautifully made with the exception of some threads that should have been cut but other than that, this is even better than pictured. I would say reminiscent of an old handmade quilt.
