Pottery Barn Kids has a new line of Star Wars Bedding, complete with a production of a vintage pattern for the sheets and duvet cover: (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b140/tamidala/swbedding.jpg)

Best of all, it comes in Queen (http://www.potterybarnkids.com/gift/thmnewboy/index.cfm) size for the big kids.......... ;)  Just in time for some of you to deck out the dorm room.................

Nice looking set for the kiddies or geeky college students.  I still have my vintage ESB bedding from when I was a kid.  Not sure why though.

I have no will power on this stuff  :-[.  I have so much bedding it's embarrassing (considering I was a kid in the 70's and THAT bedding was used for my own son's room in the 90's!!).  I just hope this holds up as nice as the stuff from the 70's.  The last batch I bought that was the cartoon characters of Yoda, Vader and such still feels "rough" and I washed it several times!!

A little OT, but .. . Will Farrell in Step Brothers is wearing the orignal sheets as bed pants.  Also lots of SW references.

A couple years ago I convinced my wife to make a Queen Size quilt for me. I went and picked up different kinds of beed sheet sets and we patchworked the whole set together. I will get some pictures of it to show.

I still use the vintage pillow cases.  If they really want to give love to the big kids, they need to do a king size set.  A king size bed is really the only way to go...sleeping in a full with another person feels like have two people in a twin after you have gotten used to a king.

You are NOT kidding.  My wife and I slept comfortably in a full size bed for the first...probably 8 years of our marriage.  We went to a king, and now every now and then when visiting friends or family members have to sleep in a full.  It's unbelievably small feeling.

We found a coule misc. space fabrics to use to break things up a little. To give it some bulk the back of the quilt is a flannel WWF/WWE Sheet set that we (because I actually helped put this together and cut too) put on to give it some warmth. It is a great quilt and we use it in the Guest bedroom.

PBK is having SW events  (http://www.potterybarnkids.com/cust/starwars/content.cfm?bnrid=3501598&cm_ven=Email&cm_cat=Labor_Day_Sale&cm_pla=DTC&cm_ite=dtc_star_wars_footer)in their stores to kick off their new line of bedding. 

They've also added a navy blue quilt with the Falcon stiched on it (I can't find an image, but it's in their catalog) and a backpack and lunch box.  My son is quite bummed that he already has a lunch box and backpack from PBK.
