So I’ve been spending some time looking at crib bedding sets online.
You can get packages that combine a dust ruffle, bumpers, quilt, and fitted sheet, or you can get any of those things separately. Some patterns only come packaged, some only separate.
I’m not even sure what kind of color scheme I really want. It seems it’s the quality of the color that matters more, i.e. sage, moss, etc are better than lime or sea green. And then there’s combinations — pink and yellow, pink and green, pink and purple, and so on. AND it’s hard to really see the patterns and colors online — might be more or less muted / bright in person, might like the details more or less when I can see them up close.
Anyway, here are a few of the ones that I think I like based on this preliminary online shopping:
Jumping Sheep: available at Target

Olivia by Kids Line: available at Babies R Us and Amazon.com

Floral Butterfly by Small Wonders: available at Kmart — I like this one because of the color combination, but the pattern is a little more modern than I usually like.

I think I would also like something simple like an off-white eyelet lace, or pink and blue tiny floral prints or ginghams or stripes; as long as the pinks and blues are either muted or natural or darker, not bright or weird.
