Here's the one attic window quilt I made. My pink sashing was also 1" . I do like how it turned out, but now I wonder if it would have had more of a 3-D effect if I had done what MarionsQuilts had suggested with the "windows" being all the same color , just different shades. Ummm.

I love it turned out beautiful. I will see how it goes, want to make if for a gal who lives by me, she so sweet and has a lot of health issues as so does her hubby. She feeds the birds everyday and just loves to watch them so I thought she may like it.

Pretty birds! The brown looks great for the window sashing.... can you add another brown as well to the bottom?
The thin yellow is nice too. I think I have (or had) some of that bird print too.

Love the yellow, it makes it really pretty and summery. I think the white should be changed, it is to stark but one important thing to remember, it is your quilt and if you like it then it should stay. Very Pretty.

The whole purpose of the attic windows is to create that 3-d effect, and I personally found it much more "3-d" with all the same colour................
