I didn't use a quilt as my boys have all used sleeping bags, so I have just needed flat sheets only. I did have one of those quilt sets with my first born but honestly never used it, just looked nice when he wasn't sleeping in the cot.
TBH I've only ever used the fitted sheet on the cot. Took me a while to find just the fitted instead of a set (which always comes with a pillowcase even though you aren't supposed to use pillows for babies ).
Like Tan we just tucked a blanket over her. I used a rolled up nappy between the cot and the mattress to keep it secure.
I did have a set but seriously who wants to 'make' a cot every day when you don't use all the bits....same reason I don't have a pile of cushions on my bed.
I actually called SIDS & Kids to discuss what bedding is recommended for bubs in a craddle & cot - they were very helpful.
At first we had DD swaddled and had a fitted sheet, flat sheet and blankets. Then we moved DD (at about 3 months) into sleeping bags and eventually added a thin doona and pillow (both of these ARE not recommended), however DD slept better with the weight of the doona and liked a pillow.
I've just got Jim in sleeping bags that I've been buying from eBay cheaply. His legs just go and go and go, and he's kicking blankets off. He's in a rather large bassinette.
