Affordable alternatives for hip modern duvet covers

[duvetfilter] I found a duvet cover that I really like. There's just one thing...
I'm smitten with this Etched Flowers duvet cover from West Elm. The problem is that I'd like to find something just like it in a different color- preferably something dark blue/grayish blue or something along those lines so that it will match the rest of my room decor.
Looking for suggestions for any other awesome (yet affordable for twentysomething city dweller) places to find equally attractive modern furnishings in the same style as West Elm. I've tried Target, but no luck so far. Tried Crate and Barrel Outlets, which was awesome, but not thrilled with their sale bedding selection right now.
One more thing, also alternatively looking for a quilt/blanket similar to this one. I like that it's light and soft, but I also really like the sort of sari/batik print on it.

Response by poster: Already looked there, but most of their current duvet covers are very busy to me. Too many colors and patterns going on.

I know it seems weird but have you tried bed bath & beyond? They have a lot of ugly but they always seem to have 3-4 that I crave with modern, floral patterns like the west elm one. This is the benefit to having hundreds to choose from, eventually one is going to be nice looking.

If you're into handmade block prints, my friend turned me on to this place, Saffron Marigold

Seconding Ikea, and FYI there's always a lot more in the store than what they have on their website.

CB2, although I'm not sure I see anything in the color palate you're looking for right now. They have new stuff fairly frequently though.

I really like Overstock.com for bedding. Is this the sort of thing you have in mind?

I have this Marimekko duvet cover and I love it to pieces. It cheers me up every time I see it. The color is pretty saturated, though, so I'm not sure whether it will go with a more grayish blue?

Response by poster: Still have not found The One, but I found that several of the Ikea duvet covers are actually very nice. The trick was actually looking up alternative images on Google images because the Ikea photos are pretty terrible.
Thanks!
