In October, I posted about the Carousel Designs Custom Baby Bedding Designer.
We haven’t ordered anything yet, since our son isn’t sleeping in his room just yet, but we’ve picked out what we like!
The design I created uses the gray zoology fabric, but what we liked is a little different than their standard set. (I made the bumper white since I won’t be using a fluffy bumper!)
Carousel Designs sent me their gray zoology crib blanket, which retails for $54, but is on sale for $49.
There is is next to the fabric samples I ordered. As a side note, I love that they included a very large piece of the print (probably can’t tell how big it is in the photo), and they also included two gray samples, since their dye lot would be changing soon. The difference was hard to notice, but I thought it was a nice touch.
The crib blanket has minky on the reverse side.
Blankets measure about 34″ x 43″.
They are made in the U.S.A.!
Apparently I’m not very good at following directions, because even though I took a picture of the washing instructions, I proceeded to wash the blanket on warm & dry it in the dryer. After washing & drying, the two materials shrunk at different rates leaving the edges rolling and overall messy looking. Doesn’t affect function but I find it very annoying. If I had hand washed on cold and line dried, I probably wouldn’t have this problem, so it’s really my own fault. Though even if I’d washed it correctly initially, it would be a matter of time before I tossed it in without thinking! The blanket is super soft, adorable, and perfect for cuddling up, or to put down when baby is playing on the floor/for tummy time.
