The color was perfect and soft as all Cuddles. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that when you cut it it was fuzzier than others that I had worked with because of the long pile. I use Cuddle for multiple quilts as the backing for tie quilts. When I did for this quilt the long pile came through to the front of the quilt and would not be pulled back. My Aunt loves the quilt so that is all that matters.
