I just washed my matelassé spread, an off white I've had for awhile. I wanted to change out my bed since we repainted the bedroom. It looks grey but is called almond mist or something. Am anxious to get the sewing room finished so I can decide on the quilt I want for our bed. Also have my eye on couple chenille spreads at Bed Bath & Beyond. My cousin uses bed runners on her pillows across the top of the bed instead of shams also
