Walking in Winter Wonderland

I finally finished "Walking in Winter Wonderland"... I machine quilted the quilt and it fits the top of my queen size bed... I was hoping that it would be a great lap quilt.... If you remember the extra block (snowman riding a toboggan) that I made, I will be using it for my label... I am not posting the label because the person who is getting this might see my blog.... I do not want to spoil the Christmas surprise.... I know they will love it....  One Christmas gift finished.... I am now ahead and I hope to keep up and get my other Christmas gifts sewed...... :)
