What colour are your sheets?
Right now I have sheets that have a white background with a plaid consisting of periwinkle, green, pink and yellow stripes. Very spring-like. Most of my sheets are either solid green or white.

11. Pale blue
I also have some that are a sort of spring green - they're my favorites. In winter, I have some white jersey sheets but my hubby is like a space heater so we rarely use them.

12. Green. We have a dark sage and the kids have lime green.
I would LOVE to have white sheets, but my husband sweats so much they'd be discolored in no time.

13. No sheets - just a couple of old blankets.
It's too haaaaaard to get sheets tucked around my mattress.

17. White
The top sheet and the pillow cases have a golden yellow ribbon along the edge that I sewed on to them. I made my duvet, other pillow cases and bed skirt, they're also golden yellow, so I go with the white sheets, because something else won't go with the duvet.

kind of a motley thing. No red, though.

51. that's what i do - mix 'n' match
right now i have on a teal top sheet and a light green/sage bottom sheet with bright plum pillow cases.

i did the brick red pillow case one day when it was the only one in the house (the kids had all the purple!). i was shocked, but it went well with the light green.

i'm a color freak. i bought lime green sandals yesterday! they'll be fun this summer...

20. White background w/ blue-grey stripes
and pale pink rosebuds. The top sheet has Battenburg lace edging on it.
I know, they are very frilly. But my room is the only place where I can feel "girly".

23. In the interest of full disclosure....
Currently, a burgundy bottom sheet and dark blue top sheet. Four pillow cases, two of each colour.

I alternate this colour scheme with black and ivory.

I wanted some nice, mature, masculine grey flannel sheets - so for Xmas my mom bought me bright blue flannel sheets with multicoloured tropical fish on them.

Khash.

35. Red - fake suede
style finish.

Pretty cool. Matches our Red/Asian/black bedroom pretty well. Only problem is the stupid brown carpet with the big red splotch from where I spilled the paint.

I suck.

brick red, soft aqua, light cream and royal blue in an modern "wiggly striped" pattern. Very soothing and comforting!

I also used the sheets for valances and drapes (someone else made them and lined them expertly -- I'm not great with sewing.)
