Perfect - my husband and I have an ongoing battle about picture-only advent calendars (my preference) versus chocolate or small toys each day (his preference). I love to quilt, so if he takes care of the kids and gives me time to work on the project, this would be a great compromise!
wonderful - do you know that i was just planning on the exact same thing? i was just debating weather to setup the pockets in a tree shape. now that i see your linear format and you have done all the calculation for me - i will do yours. one problem - my computer is acting up and adobe will not open the pdf file. could i impose on you to email it to me? thanks and cheers,

How beautiful.

I love this! As usual, your fabric choices are great, love how the little pockets just pop off the background.
