A good question from Carrie: Oh, how I wish I had a picture for this one! I know you like questions with pictures. But if I had a picture, I wouldn't need your help!
Any suggestions for where to find a solid orange bedspread? Not a comforter -- too bulky for a brand-new big boy bed that's pushed against a wall on one side and has a bed rail on the other...(Note: Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first.

Have you considered buying two orange flat sheets and making a duvet for a thin quilt/beadspread?

JC Penney has this bedspread in orange but I'm not sure it's the right shade of orange?

JC Penney has one - it's cheap ($18) but it's polyester

Garnet Hill has a really cute cotton fleece blanket in a twin size that is orange with big white polka dots-

I know you are looking for plain orange, but there is duvet from Ikea that is orange and white w/2 patterns. The smallest size is a Full/Queen so you might need to make some alterations.

Do you have a Gordman's? They have solid colored comforters, and I think they have Orange. I have a plum colored one from there. It's not the highest quality, but it's usually only $40 or less.
I think this might be it, I found it on Flickr from a fellow Etsyer's pics - you could convo her too??

Domestications or Brylane Home may have what you need. I know Domestications has some regular orange throw blankets that sound like what you want. They both have a lot of bright colored bedding items for decent prices. I got our unusual color sheets & comforter from them for really cheap and were a perfect match to the rest of the room (featured in the Declan's Delight nursery tour below). Good luck!

Ikea also has a crib blanket, but I am not sure how long that would work for you. Is he in a toddler bed or a twin sized?

Carrie here. Thanks a million for your help so far! The Company Store quilt featured in this post is lovely, but I don't know that a silk bedspread is right for a two-year-old. :)
Megan in AZ and LaneC, I actually ordered that JCPenney bedspread. It was a nice weight, not too bulky, but it was kind of a University of Texas burnt orange -- not the right call for a toddler's room. (At least not this toddler. We're Jayhawks, after all...)
I love, love, LOVE the Ikea bedspread. The link from kpag let me select a twin-size option, but it did not let me order it online. I am about ten hours from the nearest Ikea, so that is a real heartbreaker. That is PERFECT! *Sigh.*
We do have a Gordman's, so I'll check that out -- thanks, Thats Swell. I'm also going to scope out what Domestications and Brylane Home have to offer. I hadn't heard of either before, so even if they don't work out for this, it will be nice to have new sources for home goodies. Thanks, cerise518.
Enamorada's idea is a good one, but I lack sewing skills in a major way. Maybe if I can't figure anything else out, I could start hunting for a seamstress.
Of course, I'd love to hear other ideas, too! Thanks again!

If you love the Ikea bedspread I would call the nearest one and see if they would ship that, you never know!

Stupid Ikea won't ship anything to me. I tried two stores, one in Texas and one in Illinois. Now I am going to have to think of people I know in Ikea-fied cities who are saintly enough to brave Ikea for a bedspread to send to me...

There are a couple of quilts from Garnet Hill that you may want to look at: 1) Vortex Quilt in Tangerine, $148 for the twin, 2) Square Route Quilt in red with orange reverse.

I'm going to second the Land of Nod post. I came here to post the same thing! Hopefully the orange one will fit your needs. Good luck!
