They are lovely, but their king isn't big enough for my bed. I'm having a tough time finding something big enough for an Eastern king super deep mattress.
Peace,
Kimberly

Hey Kimberly I have the same trouble with my Cali king which is on the floor... the idea I had last year was a king sized tapastry like this one:

then sewing a king sized sheet to the back and stuff a down comforter in side... or use the bulk cotton batting and make your own. This is what I am planning on doing for our bed... as soon as I can that is. :) Right now we are using a nice cali king sheet for a cover and using smaller blankets underneith.
Love Val

I clicked through all of the beautiful quilts and throws from all of the different countries. Thank you for sharing!
My tip for the BIIIGGGG beds that we are talking about:
We have a king, as well as two twins on our floor in our room, a virtual sea of bed!
So we bought a king sized fitted sheet for the matress itself, and then we bought two twin sized top sheets and two twin sized heavy cotton blankets so that the baby can sleep between my dh and I and we are not covering her up and we each have plenty of sheet and blanket for ourselves.
Then on the two twins, the kids have the sheet sets that they picked out to decorate their bed the way they wanted.
This is coming from the family who has 5 bedrooms! The only kid in her own room is my 15 yo daughter!
We could be in a two bedroom saving a bunch of money!!!!!!!!!!!!
