Kristen's Tree Skirt

 My niece was married last month,

so that meant a Christmas tree skirt was needed.

 

I had used the Emilia pattern by Robin Pickens

for a baby quilt recently and really loved it.

I decided this would make a pretty tree skirt.

 

 

I have never made a square tree skirt before,

but I like it.

The real test will come when it's under the tree.

 

 

I had planned on doing something different with the corners,

but it didn't work as I had wanted.

By the time I realized that, I couldn't miter them.

I like the little triangles, though.

Most all of these fabrics were from my stash!

I bought the stripe for the border and one other print.

 

 The multicolor ferny looking print in the upper right corner

is a favorite.  I should have bought more of that!

I have decided to not add ties to this one.

Last year I realized that I don't use mine when putting

it under the tree, so that saves some time and aggravation.

Merry Christmas in August!

Happy Quilting!
