I fell in love with this tree skirt pattern from MamaCJT. I love the way it turned out!
I've been collecting green and red fabrics for the last few months. I used some Sparkle All the Way, gnomes from Holiday Happy, and even a little Tufted Tweets. The buttons (my favorite) are from Alexander Henry's Sew Christmas. I have lots of fabric left over. I think I see a Christmas quilt in my future! (Someone please remind me that I don't have time to make a Christmas quilt this year.)
I echo quilted around the trees...
...and did some loopy quilting in the red parts. I've never done loops before, and I definitely should've practiced first! Oh well.
I was little nervous about the binding because, well, it looked tricky. I used Tracey's (very clever) continuous binding tutorial and Krista's tips for creating the scallops, and it looks pretty good!
I suppose there's nothing left to do but put up the tree!

It turned out marvelous!! Bravo and I bet you have enough red and green left for another tree skirt for someone, huh?
That is really cute! What a creative design!!

Nice job! I love that pattern too!
Wow that is so cute!
The Christmas Tree skirt that is under my tree was made by your mom...
That is just stunning! The presents will need to be set away from the tree so everyone can just sit and admire your skirt!
your tree skirt looks so great!!! i love those trees
That is really really pretty!!! I need a tree skirt but don't think I will have time this year, but yours makes me re-think my decision.
This. Is. Amazing. I love all of the fabrics together. Yeah, how would you ever put presents on it?! There's no way you can cover it up.
Very, very nice! What a beautiful tree skirt.
That is so cute. You did a great job.
Your tree skirt is so cheery!
Wow! That is AMAZING! I love it.
(You don't have time to make a Christmas quilt. I'm sensing a real role reversal here. Remember the spaghetti-and-clipboard-making lunch?)
I live the tree skirt. You are remarkable - so talented.
