I posted last week that I had decided to make a Christmas Tree Skirt after seeing the
tutorial over at
Crazy Mom Quilts, AmandaJean always makes things look soooo simple ;-)
Well here it is, finished at last!

It is 60" x 60". Obviously I deviated somewhat from the tutorial but the general gist is there. This was my first attempt at stippling too.


The back is a Robert Kaufman Green Stars print I was lucky enough to find in the local fabric shop for just 1 Rial a mtr, that is about $3.50USD. However it is not very forgiving in terms of showing up my stippling errors and some puckering of the fabric.

I did learn a lot from making this and I will put these lessons to good use when I finish my next quilt (top is done!). For years to come I will remember this skirt as the crazy project I undertook while dying with this terrible virus just before Christmas.
A HUGE thanks to my Mum who kindly finished hand stitching the binding for me when I could do no more but sniffle, cough and moan .... HUGS!
