JUST DUCKY CUDDLE QUILT

I am so excited about this cuddle quilt! This is my second collaborative effort =) This one was designed with the help of my group of friends from the Every Happy House Needs... CAL on Crochetville. They call themselves The Happy House Ladies. I love that =) !! In fact, they had so much input on this one I think the only element of the original design draft is the duck!
