My experience with blankets on the top of the bed is that they usually don't lay very nice and they are not even, end to end. But I agree, that one is a very pretty one. Maybe this one would be different.

Is this over the duvet ? It is a beautiful blanket...but I am confused. Thought a duvet would be the top layer?

No...I think that sounds perfect

That's the way I make my bed. I have the duvet folded at the bottom and the top sheet folded back over the top of the blanket/quilt/coverlet so that you see a swath of the blanket/quilt/coverlet between the sheet and the duvet. Then the pillows are placed at the head of the bed in layers. I imagine that the blanket you linked will look nice.

Ok...thank you again! The swatch should be here in a few days. It's more than I prefer to spend on a blanket...but it may be worth the splurge;)

I did this with a very heavy, winter blanket from Peacock Alley. It had a satin finish on all four borders and looked very pretty. Since I already had it and it was right color, I saw no reason to buy anything else at the time.

Sometimes that arrangement looks best when the blanket and top sheet border are tucked in all the way around. I like it - it's layered, but not too much, and welcoming.
