Organic Crib Bedding Just Keeps Getting More Awesome

Organic Crib Bedding Just Keeps Getting More Awesome

If you heeded our love for the Q Collection's junior line and picked up one of their gorgeous cribs, you need some worthy bedding to go with it. Heck, even if you have a different crib, there's no reason you can't go for some charming and earth-friendly bedding. In either case, you're in luck because Q Collection's organic cotton crib bedding will be your nursery's crowning touch.

I love the little parade of elephants in either blue or wheat, and it reverses to a geometric pattern for when you want a bit of a change. The overall feel is soft and sweet without being ooey-gooey babyish.

It's all imprinted on organic cotton, with AZO-free dyes (trust me, that's a good thing), plus this set includes a bumper, crib skirt, and two sheets -- no need to decide what to do with one of those useless ruffly comforters that no one ever uses. Why do people keep making those anyway? -Mir
