I have to start this review with a simple question: Who doesn't want a drone?! It has always been a hope of mine but I never actually thought that I would get one! I've always liked...

HLC.ME Medallion 3-Piece Embroidered Quilt Set 

When I was young, I can remember sleeping over at my grandmothers house. She had a pile of quilts on top of a hope chest that she'd made and one of them had this beautiful medallion pattern. I asked her to teach me how to do it but she always told me I had to learn the basics before moving on to something like that. Sadly, I never got to reach that point with her.

So, when I saw this quilt, I knew that I wanted it. It's absolutely beautiful. The embroidery pattern has to be almost the same as what she used. It's very clear that a lot of time was put into the pattern and that a lot of work was put into this quilt. I spent a while just tracing the pattern like I would as a child and I didn't see any stitches out of place or any mistakes in the pattern. Even with patterns created by a machine from a computer program, there's still mistakes sometimes. So, it's very clear to me that this company strives for quality with its products. I have purchased curtains from them before that were very high quality also so I know it's not just quality quilts that they make! On top of being beautifully made, this quilt is surprisingly soft.

The material is actually embroidered microfiber. I was pleasantly surprised by this because the product description doesn't state that it is microfiber. Though, it does list that this quilt is made of 100% polyester. It's definitely the softest polyester that I've ever owned! Though, I do want to give you a warning. This quilt is not going to feel smooth, embroidered fabric never does, it simply can't because of the thread work. This quilt is meant to be used over your other bedding for added warmth.

As a final thought, just keep in mind that you need to be careful when washing this quilt. Because of the complicated embroidery and the material the quilt is made from, it needs to be washed on a cold, gentle load and dried on your lowest heat setting, air dry if you have it. Though, it would be better to just hang it to dry if that's at all possible. As long as you follow those instructions, you're sure to have this beautiful quilt for years to come! I highly recommend it! I received this HLC.ME Medallion 3-Piece Embroidered Quilt Set (Full/Queen, Aqua) during a promotional pricing period for product testing purposes.

HLC.ME Alexandra Paisley 3-Piece Embroidered Quilt Set

This quilt, just as much as the first one I purchased from this company, is a reminder of my childhood with my grandmother. I don't know if it's because the quilts seem to be made in the style of years ago or if it's just because my grandmother embroidered but I find myself feeling even more comfortable with them than I thought I would! My only problem is I can't decide which one I want to use at night!

As with every other product I've gotten from this company, I am astounded by the quality of this quilt! I've purchased more expensive quilts and they weren't nearly as well made as this quilt! They either had frayed edges or loose stitches but that's absolutely not a problem with this quilt! The pattern is beautifully embroidered and the edges are all solid. I have a particular love of symmetrical things and this quilt is beautiful in that way too! The pattern is embroidered seamlessly and that's something you don't see very often!

I will leave you with the same warning I did in the other review, however. Because this quilt is embroidered, it's not going to feel as smooth as other quilts. It simply can't because of the embroidery. However, that doesn't mean that it's not comfortable! This quilt is made of 100% polyester and is made of microfiber which makes it wonderfully soft! I absolutely love this quilt. It leaves comfortable and warm and reminds me of fond memories!

Just be careful when you're washing it. The high quality material combined with the complicated embroidery means you have to take a little more care with it than you would other quilts. You need to wash it in a cold, gentle cycle load and dry on your lowest setting. I would recommend hanging it to dry, personally. This quilt will last you for a long time as long as you take proper care of it! I would definitely recommend it!
