Cute and Unique Dorm Bedding?

Buy a basic comforter. Make a patchwork "quilt" comforter cover in the fabric and colors of your choice. Buy coordinating sheets. About the only way you won't have to compromise is to just make it yourself. Patchwork (which isn't necessarily big, equally sized squares, you can do different sizes) is really simple to sew, and looks amazing so long as you have any sense of design.
