Your blocks are very cute. What is the pattern? I agree that the bias would very nice, but I don't think I would be able to do that without stretching the sashing. I am new to quilting so maybe with experience I will be able to...
Good luck with your sashing and please post your finished quilt....

Language is not just "alphabetic" reading, but other indicators of information(paw prints when hunting,street signs, map designations, etc.) This teaches him to observe his environment, and interpret possible information in short-hand form. This takes the quilt from cute to a learning tool. IMHO.

The other prints would make a great backing, binding, and matching pillow cases.

You could also use the lt. blue small print for cornerstones between the sashing if you like cornerstones, or a solid gold. I would use gray thread, the color of the inside of the wheels for appliqueing.
I love all those trucks! Your colors and the fabrics are perfect! Is this a pattern I could buy somewhere? What is the name of the fabric line? I would love to make this for my 3 yr old GS.
