PATCHWORK CRIB BEDDING

SEE AVAILABLE STYLES HERE!

Patchwork crib bedding has been around as long as there have been moms who needed to make good use of every available scrap of fabric. Quilting materials were precious and hard to come by. The creation of patchwork quilts in those hard scrabble times was a product of necessity where in the modern world, quilting is regarded as a means of artistic expression.

Frugal quilters may still cut up cotton clothes to get the good pieces. They tackle everything from a plaid work shirt to blue jeans saving the whole cloth while discarding the worn, frayed pieces to add to their stash of fat quarters. They tell me that you never know when you might have need of a vintage print in a particular shade for a pretty patchwork crib quilt that is unavailable in current product lines.

CRIB BEDDING for GIRLS
The beauty of making bedding out of a combination of colors, fabrics and prints is that you not only have an original, one of a kind crib set, but an opportunity to get the best of all worlds when it comes to theme and design. For instance, store bought crib sets most often focus on one particular theme and fabric pattern whereas an accomplished artist can design a custom patchwork crib bedding set that successfully mixes and matches several themes in a stylish manner.

As an example, a rose patchwork crib bedding set might include some vintage Winnie the Pooh toile fabrics side by side with pink and white shabby chic floral fabrics. The benefit of this combination is the opportunity for diversity in your baby girl’s nursery design. There is no good reason to settle for one or the other. Plus, the feeling that you are living in an overturned flower basket or drowning in shades of pink flowers is virtually eliminated with the use of carefully selected alternating quilt fabrics that each serve to balance the other.

BABY BOY CRIB BEDDING SETS
The same themes that are popular in commercial baby boy bedding sets really come to life through the coordination of plaids, stripes and solid blue denim and themed print fabrics. If daddy wants a nursery for his newborn son that is based on his favorite sport and mom is somewhat less than enthusiastic about missing out on her one chance to decorate a bedroom for her little boy in something other than footballs, soccer balls and hockey pucks; patchwork may be the best possible option. Design your patchwork crib bedding sets with every other square in a fabric that daddy loves and color coordinate the rest in prints that mom can live with like a Winnie the Pooh patchwork crib set.

Patchwork baby bedding has always been about creating unique blends of color and style whether out of necessity or design. Patchwork baby bedding sets are not just about keeping an infant warm these days. They may be the best way for parents to compromise on the best nursery design for their newborn.
