I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because of the fabrication of the print.The way the colors are woven in leaves a bit of a "striping" effect on the finished product, from the colored threads beneath.The butterflies are "oriental art" looking and VERY BEAUTIFULLY done, but they change color by rows, so at one angle, you can see pink/green/blue/yellow stripes through the fabric -- especially the curtains.
The curtains are really worthless in my opinion, for curtains. with any kind of light behind them all you see is the ugly stripes from the right side -- so that negated their use on the windows. I may cut them up and use them to make a bigger bedspread out of the crib quilt when my daughter graduates to a toddler bed -- so they're not TOTALLY worthless I guess.
The diaper stacker is very pretty and useful if you use that kind of thing, as is the toy bag or wall decoration, whichever you'd use that for.
The bumper pad is beautiful and well suited, however the strings to tie it onto the crib ARE NOT sewn on very strongly and can be ripped off without too much effort (insert 3yr old brother).I have a standard crib size and this bumper pad was not long enough to go all the way around, but was longer than 3 sides worth no matter how I put it on. So it was rather weird that way.
The blanket is very fluffy and keeps baby very warm -- I used it during the winter without any other blanket for baby, and she was always toasty warm with it. Too hot for summer, if your kids are upstairs where it's warmer, but perfect if they are in a 70 degree room at night.
The satin stays VERY SOFT after many washings -- however...
CAUTION ON WASHING THE SET:DO NOT WASH WITH ANYTHING CONTAINING VELCRO!!!!!I washed this with a few bibs that I thought were hooked together, but the edges came and snagged the blanket and pulled threads...I hadn't even put it on her bed yet and I had multiple snags on the blanket and the bumper pad.Yikes. I was able to smooth some out, but permanent damage done to the facing of the blanket.:(
The cotton is VERY VERY soft and I absolutely LOVE the sheet because of it. It fits VERY snuggly to the mattress and is extremely soft for a sheet bought with a set. I was very impressed with it.
Overall quality is very good for the price -- I was shocked to find such a unique set for so affordable a price.
Cost (Summer 07):$58.88
Shipping:$13.49
Very reasonable considering the quality and that its mostly satin -- very silky soft and stays that way after repeated washings.
Definitely would recommend it.

This crib bedding set has met all the requirements that I was looking for in crib bedding - I wanted high quality for a great price.I am also a huge fan of handmade quilting, and this quilt is soft and well made similar to a handmade quilt.... I'm sure my great-Aunts will be asking me who made it for me!This is a beautiful set, and the matching accesories are great too!I'm only disappointed I didn't find something like this for my daughter when I had her - I spent nearly $500 for her handmade bedding.I would have much rather bought a girly set made by carters if I knew the quality was this great!!
