"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!

Nutcracker with icing:
In this version, the quilt shines in Christmas pastel colors on a bright background – almost as if snowfall consisted of cinnamon scent and vanilla sugar. With Art Gallery Solids in delicate mint, blossom pink, golden yellow, and ice blue, each scene gains a dreamy elegance. The perfectly coordinated fabric package contains all solids for the quilt top. The pattern itself (available separately) guides you block by block through the fairy-tale adventure from June to December – FPP fans will get their full money's worth here.
