you did a great job with what you had to work with.....I don't do solids ever...not on purpose anyway...they 2nd one is not too bad..the kids will LOVE them...
If you like kits, check out Paducah/hancocks. I usually don't get kits but got one from them and was really very happy with it. I think you did a great job of what you had.
I don't usually order kits but did get a good one from Connecting Threads, queen size with all the top and binding fabrics that matched the picture in their catalog.
