After I posted that I liked the blue sashing, I saw the attic window and love it.

What do you think?
the horizontal fabric of the two brown versions could also be switched
Love the attic window idea! Really brings out the colors.

I like the brown sashing as it shows the blocks better.

These are so so cute. I love how you used the woodgrain fabric to look like the craddle. Could you post just one close up each of just one boy and girl block so we can see the details of the bears better? thanks Love them great idea for practicing blocks.

the blocks are very square. They dont lay flat as I am attaching a piece of batting under the blanket to get a kind of 3D effect - hopefully.....
