    Mandy, I just love the penguin. I expect to see this quilt entered in the County Fair, along with your owls. You are too good to hide your cute quilts away.

    Oh my goodness! It is so fun! My fave is the reindeer! I used to sketch Rudolph with lights tangled in the antlers all the time around Christmas - thanks for reminding me, haha!

    Super cute quilt! I love the snow bear and his scarf blowing in the wind. I too have a hard time picking out colors. I swear I spend more time agonizing over that than I do sewing the entire project.

    I think Rudolph is my fav. I really like them all. I had a cross stitch (an expensive one with the gold plastic frame included) that was a reindeer with Christmas lights entangled in the antlers. You did an absolutely fabulous job. Thanks for participating, sharing your amazing creativity, picking all the right fabrics for this project, and being very generous with your giveaway.

    Adorable quilt but it is hard to go wrong with Amy Bradley's designs. You did a wonderful job on this! I would pick the reindeer as my favorite blocks. It reminds me of this silly Christmas card we received one year that my mom used for a gift tag for the youngest of us 6 kids. For as long as he lived at home, he got that "To Phil from Mom and Dad" card on one of his packages. One year she re-created it in ceramics and eventually it was lost. VBG

    Each and every one of the characters are wonderful. When I had to pick, I had to go back over them two more times. Finally decided on Mrs. Claus but I love the snowman and the polar bear and Rudolf and the penguin. You get my drift? Wonderful quilt.

  61. ShirleyCAugust 9, 2013 at 7:32 PM
