Tree Skirt

The Christmas tree skirt is a done deal.  I think it turned out pretty well considering it was a "design as you sew" kind of project.


I used a pattern I had for the pine trees, then just added a center square the same size, and setting triangles on the sides.  Two borders finished it off.  My friend Carol quilted it for me before I cut the opening or the center hole.  


Can you see the quilting?  Carol did such a great job on this with red/green variegated thread and the design is Christmas lights.  So cute and really shows up nicely on the polka dot back.  It shows up quite well on the front side too.

It turned out so well! And wise idea to have it quilted before cutting it.
