Nut cracker quilt

Beautiful quilt

That is absolutely darling. You both did a wonderful job on it. Great color choices too.

Very cute indeed. Great variety in the faces and hats/beards etc.
Love that black/white chevron border and binding. So Christmas-y!

that is just too cute

I love it, grammer ann! Can you tell us more about tacking it.....e.g. what stitch did you use and how do you do just one design as a tack? I'm thinking this might be the way to do some minky backed throws I'm making. TIA!! Polly

That is as cute as can be! Made even more special that your DD helped make it! I love nutcrackers, so if you get tired of it, I'll gladly take it off your hands!! LOL. Very striking colors, too!

Delightful, and such a joy to share productive time with our daughter.

Looks like the two of you had a fun and productive weekend! :)

Oh man, I love this! I collect Nutcrackers and I would love to collect this. Great job for both of you. BrendaK

ooooooh! Love it, love it, love it! GOOD JOB!
