Using your Yosemite reversible quilt set is easy. Just lay the quilt on your bed and place the pillow shams on your pillows. You can switch between the Aztec side and the cream - tan geometric side depending on your mood and the look you want. When it comes to maintenance, remember to always machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low to keep the fabric in good condition. If there are stains, use non - chlorine bleach. And only iron on the lowest setting if it's really necessary. Also, note that the inserts are sold separately, so you'll need to get them if you want a fully stuffed look.
