marybeth - do whatever you want. My DD will be 3 in mid-December. :) Have fun with it. Emmie (DD) just said for it to be cheery. She was jealous of Mommy getting mail and she never got anything. So we decided she'd get a big girl quilt - she picked the fabric all by herself.
I have NO idea what color I'll be using for sashing so just have fun with it. (I forgot what color you got - either pink or yellow)
