Try looking at Lands End for the sheet blankets. I purchased one from them a number of years ago and it was the most wonderful blanket in the world. 100% and it was probably the only blanket that has ever fit on my king sized bed. It wasn't cheap - about $100 if I remember correctly but I could actually tuck it under the mattress and still have enough length to get a fold at the head of the bed and it had a drop on the sides to boot. Not sure what happened to it but I'm guessing it was destroyed by one of the dogs. And I decided I wasn't spending that much $$ for something for the dogs to destroy again. Hence the reason I'm not in a hurry to make the Mariner's Compass I want for my bed.
