Just curious as to how you are giving them as gifts. Hope it's okay to ask. I have seen a pillowcase given with a coordinating book. Are you giving sheets with them? Do they match existing bed quilts?
I wanted to make one for my nephew for christmas and wasn't sure what fabric to use or how to make it as a gift.
BTW, the pillowcases came out great.
I also saw your question about the third one. it looks nice but maybe a little more contrasting middle (piping) fabric would be even better like a medium brown? Love the horse fabric
