Did you actually buy a bedding set or just get a few sheets and blankets?

Re: Clicky poll: Baby bedding.
PBK sells their stuff a la carte. For Clay, I didn't bother with a bumper since I only used Finn's for a month or two.
We never bought blankets. We were given enough handmade ones as gifts to last us through ten kids.

I got a bedding set as a shower gift. We use the sheet, dust ruffle, valence. I used to use the comforter as a play blanket on the floor. Have not used the bumpers, nor the diaper stacker.
Now that we're outgrown the need for a blanket on the floor, I want to hang it on the wall.
So I use half of it, and don't think it was a waste of money per se, but probably could have gotten away with a smaller set.
I bought a 10-pc set. Sheet, skirt, bumper, quilt, 3 wall hangings, 2 curtains, and a mobile.
Our windows are really wide, so I knew I wouldn't use the curtains. We have or will use all the rest. The only thing we haven't used so far is the quilt, but when she moves to a toddler bed, she will use that. I painted her room to match, so she will use it til she outgrows it!
Oh, we got a diaper stacker too. Maybe there was just one curtain? We didn't use the stacker.

I knew I wouldn't use the bumper, but I was in love with the pattern so I shopped around on ebay till i found a good deal on a 6 piece set. We use the curtain, bedskirt,comforter (wall hanging), sheets and i actually used the diaper thing at first till he started pulling on it.
We got the ultimate deal. My mom was going to buy us our bedding for the shower gift... she let me in on what was going on before she bought it because she wanted to make sure I liked it.
It was a complete bedding set and it was on ebay. It was a Sunday morning, and she ended up getting it for like, $45. That included sheet, dust ruffle, comforter, decorative pillow, bumper, valance, and diaper stacker.
We have used all of it. Not the comforter as much, but we will probably use it more as the weather gets colder.
