May I ask where you found your organic cotton bedding?
Please and thank you.

It's Eileen Fisher's line at Garnet Hill website. I don't have any of her sheets, but get organic ones from Loop. Very nice. I think Macy's now carries some organic bedding.

Thank you for the information. I'm always looking for sites and stores to purchase cotton everything.

Bedding,clothing etc.

Lol. And it is the same color as her so her fur won't show up.

I love quilts and own too many... can't help myself. The one you posted a picture of is beautiful and elegant. I love it!

I like quilts too and have gotten some pretty ones inexpensively from Zulily.

I really like this quilt! It is fresh and I can't think of any decor it wouldn't go with. A thumbs up for sure on this one!

I have no idea how to post pics, but the ones I got yesterday are Eileen Fisher's Rippled Organic Cotton Coverlet. I got it in white and also Sea Spray (very similar to the color you have in the pic).

I also got the organic blankets in the same colors.

No shams.

Very pretty! I like how bright and clean and neutral it is. Should make any room look lighter and larger.

I do have one thought though. How will you use it? Will you make the bed every day, then turn it down at night so it doesn't get used as a blanket? Will you sit on your bed on top of it, or allow pets on it?

The reason I ask is it is rather light, so will show stains and dirt from daily use and pets (skin oils, hair, etc.). It might require more washing, and because of the fabric/design, may not hold up well to many washing before looking worn. There is always the possibility that washing and drying will 'pucker' the fabric more, and it will look a little richer (that happens with a lot of quilts...they look nicer after they are washed). Just take a good look at it (it's construction and fabric quality) and consider how often it may have to be washed, and what it will look like afterward, and how much you will like that possible 'new' look after washing.
