Thread: finished blocks, need help with layout please

Really love this patter, maybe because I love bears! But anyways, I like the brown sashing the best! What a great pattern for babies or younger kids. Where can one find this pattern?

I like both the brown and the light print think I like the brown one the best! That is just too cute!

The blocks are so cute and I love it with the brown sashing - blue would be my second choice. Adorable pattern! That's one lucky child that is getting this quilt.

The white one's too busy looking & you loose the blocks in the yellow. I'd suggest either the blue or the brown, but the BLUE mat'l is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE (even though it does lend itself more as a boy's quilt, I do think that with the number of bows on the bears & pink in the "blankets", either gender would absolutely love it)

I love them with the yellow sashing!!

I love this!!! Sashing really makes the bears POP! and I like the different personalities of each of the bears!

But dont forget: compared to yours are mine "cheaters", a bought embroidery machine design!
I cant thank you enough for posting your bears in bed. I would have never been able to come up with an idea like that by myself and giving each other inspiration is a great thing on this board. If I am finished with this one I might try one with miniature quilts instead of sampler blocks....

thank you all so much for the feedback

I got 24 blocks, four each in the colors green, red, yellow, purple, blue and bright yellow. Two of each "girls", two boys.
Is there a "mathematical" way to lay this blocks out and do you think I should go with sashing or without like Champagnolle?

the blue fabric has little stars

They are really cute, I think sashing for sure, just depends on who the quilt is for on what color! Thanks for sharing.

The bears are so adorable and love the windows attic theme to showcase each one.

I like the blue or the pale floral for sashing. The latter would probably be considered too girly if you are making it for a boy?
