Cindy's Tree Skirt

Yay, the last tree skirt for this year is done!  After I finished up the two tree skirts, Glamorous and Black and White, my sister decided that she wanted a tree skirt for Christmas.  I made my mom and other sister tree skirts last year so it was only fair that she got one, too.  Cindy is particular so I let her pick the fabrics that she wanted in her tree skirt.  From there we decided that she wanted circles on it, like I did my mom's, with reverse applique.  Cindy chose 12 fabrics so no fabric would be repeated in the wedges so I decided that no fabric should be repeated in the balls either.  So glad I joined in a few swaps of Christmas charms the past few years and have a ton of Christmas scraps in my stash.

The balls look great, they are just a lot of work when putting them on each and every wedge.  They each have either one, two, or three balls on each wedge.  They are all different sizes and all specially selected to match each wedge of the quilt perfectly.

This tree skirt is just a bit smaller than the others at 52" in diameter.  Cindy requested it be a bit smaller to fit her space better.  I did that by marking my template just 4 inches smaller so I cut the fabrics smaller to start with.

I think it looks perfect under her tree, it finishes the look.

My mom made her the angel that is on the tree.

I am done with tree skirts for the year, thank goodness.  Now to try and finish up the rest of the items on my to-do list that need to be done before Christmas.
