I could cut them apart and add coordinating fabric, but it is printed to look sashed with bright colors. I just don't want to do anything wrong. Got the top pieced from the fabric they send. So am planning one from fabric I have (bought this yesterday, so I have it now 8-) ) It has such a nice hand, is cotton, but is so silky.
Even a young baby would love this quilt panel just as it is....quilted! A baby's eyes see the black and white or a bright contrast first. They are drawn to bright colors. I would quilt over the panel, leaving it all set up, as is. Why not? It is adorable.
