I was going to decorate them with rickrack and buttons, but now I'm not going to. I like them just they way they are. I did pick out a cute striped fabric for the binding that will be enough.
The good news is that the little gingerbread man table topper I have been working on at school is now a complete topper. The bad news is the it is too cold in Ohio to operate my longarm. (It is kept in our other house that is not fully heated. I would have to run the fuel oil furnace for about five days to get the head of my longarm to a consistent temperature. At the colder temperature the stitches skip.) My longarm is covered up for now. I will be piecing away quilt tops until spring.
I'm linking up at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

These turned out very cute! Merry Christmas and Happy Stitching!
Thanks, Gretchen. Have a wonderful holiday. Enjoy the season.
The little men are adorable! Give the hand quilting a try.... it is addictive!
Those gingerbread men are so sweet. It will make a great table topper!
The gingerbread men quilt is adorable. Great work!
I love these cute little gingerbread men! It will look great no matter what way you quilt it!
It is a pretty quilt. I didn't realise that the temperature played a part in how well sewing machines work.
Too-cute and adorable gingerbread men on a perfect background fabric. At least the topper is done. I'm considering having my next quilt based on a long arm. I could never have one as they take up too much room. A good plan to keep on piecing until the weather is warmer for your machine to operate well.
Your gingerbread men are so adorable! I love that one of them has a pink heart. Enjoy your stitching as you finish them up!
The gingerbread look fabulous together. I love that you are not adding bits and bobs to them. It does sound a little chilly there.
That didn't take you too long at all. Top finished, now on to the next step!
