This kaffe fabric was a perfect match for the deep purple. You stated purple was okay but I can change it to orange if you'd rather

Thank you for your help as I was able to get my blocks posted for you to see. I sent them in.

Just my thoughts. Make a soft simple stuffed blue animal to go with it.

See, I knew you all would have the answer. I should be able to take the ruffle off with no problem and I think I have blue fabric in my stash. Thank you. I will post pictures once the transformation is complete.

I agree with mjp. Young parents prefer something different than the pink & blue.
