"A quilt like a ballet fairy tale"

With each block, a soft fanfare from Tchaikovsky's magical world sounds: The "Nutcracker Ballet" quilt takes you to a stage of fabric, color, and fantasy. Month by month, a new motif dances onto your sewing room floor – from the Nutcracker to the ballerina to the royal fairy tale kitsch. Ideal for everyone who wants to do more than just bake cookies in the pre-Christmas season but also create magic with FPP. Applause guaranteed!

The Nutcracker on the Night Stage:

This version is the dramatic sister of the cover – with deep fir green as the base and noble, contrasting tones like Bordeaux, gold, lavender, and cool white. Ideal for those who prefer to celebrate Christmas in dramatic opulence rather than cotton candy. The Art Gallery Solids are finely coordinated and make every block detail shine like a stage in the spotlight. Included are all fabrics for the quilt top – the rest (backing, batting, instructions) can be added individually.
