Here are the fabrics I chose:
Now, I am off to get this all put together. Will update as I go along!
First update...center star made:
Also got Patrick fed, more laundry thrown in, and tomatoes picked. Another update soon!!
Okay...now we have the 4 corner stars:
So far this pattern couldn't be any easier! Now, let's just hope I still like it when I have it complete! lol
First set of borders made:
Okay..we are done piecing the top! I did have to stop and run to the store to get some odds and ends for dinner. We are heading over to my sister in laws for supper and I am making squash and apple casserole to bring. This is one of my family's favorites. I will take a picture and post the recipe when it is all done cooking...or when we get home. It tastes like apple pie, so fakes the kids out and I get them to eat squash! lol
Anywho...here is the pic of the tree skirt top:
It almost seems a shame to cut it for the skirt! lol Not sure when I will quilt it and cut it to make it into the skirt..maybe next month or some other night when it just feels right. So glad to have gotten this far today. Thanks for all the companionship, ladies! It really motivated me!! Ohh..and in case you are wondering, it measures in at 54 inches square.
I got mine made last year and am so happy! Yours looks like a great (and easy) pattern. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern, and I love the fabrics you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric, and that is a beautiful pattern. I just got that book from the library and love so many things in it.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you're using for the tree skirt. Your star looks great. Try as I might, I can't make good points.
ReplyDeleteI just came back to see what's happening and you have so much done. It's going very quickly.
ReplyDeleteWell if you don't like it when it's done you can always send it to me, I think it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome speedy. You have such a talent. Love it. I use a sheet too. I still want to do one myself.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI have that book but I don't think I have ever made anything from it! I know what you mean about having a plain tree skirt. Good luck getting it finished!
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing woman-all that sewing and picking tomatoes too-lol.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! Great colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! :-) I've got Thimbleberries from the mid-90's so using up some on a tree skirt sounds great! Lovely work!

That is gorgeous! I'm not sure I could cut it, but it will look great under the tree. Thanks for all of your comments on my work today. It's been fun.
ReplyDeleteI love it, but I think I might have trouble cutting it. I'd make it as a guilt and then put up with a naked tree. I hope you enjoyed yourself and will be with us again next month.
ReplyDeleteGreat top. Now I want to make a skirt for my tree. Not fair as I seem to be adding to my to do list
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs Gina xxx
Turned out lovely. Great for your tree. It does look too pretty to cut, so love it for awhile then cutttttt... then you will love it as a skirt. *giggle*

So would you post your squash and apple casserole for us to try? It sounds delicious. Nice skirt, too.
