Seeing that I do not have my tree yet to model the skirt I pulled out my wooden tree. (I love this thing, my mom made it and it goes on my porch every year)
This tree skirt is huge! It is 60" across.
I love all the colors in this skirt, they are not all traditional but are all really fun. The back is a plain white lining.
I used the tutorial from Sew Crafty Jess. Instead of measuring each wedge, though, I made myself a template out of mat board. If I do it again, I think I would add the batting when I have the wedges in sections of 4 in the quilt as you go method to make it easier to assemble. I put 2 ties on the skirt, too, out of the fabric I used as the binding.
I love it and I hope my sister will, too. It is one of her Christmas presents. Wohoo, another thing off my list!
I am entering it into the 2012 Christmas Quilt Show. Go and check out all the quilty Christmas fun over there.
Fun! Love that tree.

ReplyDeleteLove your tree skirt. Great to see the bright colours.
ReplyDeleteI agree you Mom's tree is great, and your tree skirt so colorful... My only problem with a tree skirt is you just don't get to see them that much as presents take up all the space under the tree... of course the grandkids like that idea.
