Our only grandchild, Alyssa, who is ll years old, has been appearing in "The Nutcracker on Ice" since she was 3 years old. Each year she becomes more and more proficient with more and more difficult routines. When I saw the Classic Nutcracker Quilt, I knew I had to make it for her as a Christmas present. I've finished three of the twelve Nutcrackers and then will start on the 26 different 12-inch blocks that make up the border. What do you think? Am I ambitious or fool hardy to think I can finish this queen sized quilt before Christmas? AND complete the Santa Swap and the Row Robin Swap?? Belles

Belles, you're awsome! Nutcrackers, row robins, etc. Where do you find the time? The Nutcrackers are beautiful by the way!

Your work is awesome. Of course, you can complete all these things before Christmas. This quilt is for your granddaughter, that always puts a lot of ump in our step when we are doing something for them. We have faith in you!!

Please, please, please post this quilt when you complete it.
I know it will be a fantastic quilt.
