“Patchwork” Christmas Tree Skirt

This tree skirt design brings traditional quilt-blocks to life. 

The Christmas red and green skirt includes floral, paisley and striped prints.  This pattern has a central star surrounded by a larger star in an octagon.  It is a large tree skirt 60″ across at the points (approximately 56″ across at the center of the straight sides).

These panels have been quilted.  They are waiting for you to choose the color of the edging and ties this skirt will be finished with. 

The tree skirt panels have been layered with a plain off-white backing and polyester batting, machine quilted.  They will be finished with bias tape on the edges and ribbon ties at the slit.

Made in my cigarette/smoke free home.

How do I know what size tree skirt to buy for my tree?  The important thing to know when deciding on the size of your tree skirt is the diameter of your tree at the bottom of the branches.  How wide is the tree?  Once you have measured the width of your tree, add 6″.  That is the approximate size you will want for the tree skirt to extend just a few inches beyond the tips of the branches.  Of course, if you want to cover more or less floor you can adjust the number for your own needs.
