Sweet Vanilla Baby Bedding

<<Back to Baby Martex

Sweet Vanilla baby bedding comes as a four-piece crib set with a quilt, bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet. The collection is made from a 65/35 poly/cotton blend, with the exception of the fitted sheet, which is 100% cotton.

Sweet Vanilla’s baby bedding sets main focus is texture. The quilt has five fabrics- corduroy, velvet, sherpa, waffle, and a fleece backing- all of which are on the quilt to make it touchable. You can’t help feeling the “wool” of the lamb or the velvet in the stars. I was happy to see that the quilt uses a genuine patchwork technique, instead of the more commonly used “printed” patchwork, in which the patchwork design is one piece of fabric with the patches sewn into it in order to create the effect. The genuine patchwork technique has each differently colored fabric and texture sewn into it’s own “patch”.

Some of the fabrics used on the quilt are printed fabrics, where the pattern is printed onto the fabric. Printed fabrics are a more cost-effective way to produce the variety of patterns commonly used in crib bedding, such as gingham’s, plaids, and stripes. Woven fabrics are generally a higher quality than printed fabrics. Woven fabrics begin with individual colored threads woven together to create the pattern.

The bumper is 9” tall with ties on both the top and bottom. Rick-rack trim is used on the long sides of the bumper, while appliquéd moons, stars, and lambs appear on the head and foot of the bumper. A slight drawback of the bumper is the fact that it comes as one continuous piece, as opposed to being broken up into two, three, or even four pieces. The crib skirt has a 12” drop to complete the look of the set. The fitted sheet has a striped pattern, which could possibly fade due to normal wear and tear.
