Has anyone seen such a thing? Ikea used to do them, but not anymore, sadly. Ds wants a 'mummy and daddy quilt" and I can find a nice cotbed size quilt but no bedlinen I like. I really had my heart set on red gingham! Any leads? White Company only do pale blue gingham and want something a bit gutsier than that, but not cartoon characters or anything. Ta!

Is junior bed the same as cotbed???

you could make a cover. It would be very simple. i know a place local that sells red gingham (in 2 different gingham sizes) It is 2.99 a metre and wouldnt cost much at all to make!

Aloha - I have an old Ikea red gingham one, must be at least 10 years old but still in good nick (unstained!) - you're welcome to it if you'd like. Pillowcase too.

You lot are so quick!! Thanks. Bettybloo - are you absolutely certain you don't need it yourself? Obviously I'd love it (went all the way to Ikea to find one yesterday with no luck) - and happy to reimburse postage etc.

Janh - the urchin is very nice too - if a tad pricey!
Fio2, I know I could make it (and as a good mother should make it ), but sewing really isn't my forte. I think I'd be OK until I got to the button bit to hold it together.

I definitely don't need it - youngest child is 6 and I should have sent it to oxfam years ago. I'm amazed at how pristine it is actually, it somehow slipped through the net of my usual slovenliness. It's quite a rusty red, and the cotton is a slightly rough quality (nothing like the White Company). It also has a border of cross stitch hearts, not terribly girly but not exactly butch - but it never bothered my ds.
If you send me your details through contact another talker, I'll get it in the post asap - let me know if you'd prefer air mail or ground as I'm in America.
