Star Weave Tree Skirt....


This is what I spent the day working on. I wanted to make this for my mother n law  as a house warming gift but I am afraid it might be a little to big. It is 64 " square. I am not sure how big a tree she bought but if it is small this might be over powering. I might have to try another one and I know someone that does have a large tree. We will see.


It was a free pattern from Craftsy. It is called Star Weave Tree Skirt. Not an easy project. I would not recommend it for a beginner. It is for someone who doesn't mind tearing things out. I used the 1/4" seam but the blocks that was suppose to be 8 1/2" was closer to 8 1/4". So therefore it threw the whole pattern out. After a long day there was only one spot that I couldn't get right and that is where I am going to cut the seam for the opening. Now hopefully on Friday I will machine quilt it and put it together.

  2. I like it. Little trees sometimes need big skirts, to make them look fuller.
