Cocalo Crib Bedding Sets - Sweet Vanilla Baby Crib Bedding (2)
I was happy to see that the quilt of Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding, 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 its own "patch".
Some of the fabrics used on the quilt of Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding 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 sets, such as ginghams, 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.
I was slightly disappointed to see that Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding did not have the higher quality woven fabrics; I think that the variety of fabrics used and the genuine patchwork quilt more than make up for it.
The bumper of Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding 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 of Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding has a 12" drop to complete the look of the crib bedding set. The fitted sheet has a striped pattern, which could possibly fade due to normal wear and tear.
I would recommend buying several solid colored fitted sheets (white, off-white, or cream), which are readily available at most crib bedding sets retailers, to save the matching sheet for showing off. Fortunately, all pieces of the Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding are machine washable.
Unfortunately for Canadian consumers purchasing crib bedding sets from United States online retailers, the Sweet Vanilla baby crib bedding is manufactured in China. Customers in Canada would be required to pay import duties of as much as 18% of the stated prices.
