Holly Tree Skirt
This one is definitely “by popular demand” as you guys have been asking me for a tree skirt for sooo long. This is an easy one to put together with some fabulous holly blocks and some berries. It is pieced in a regular “quilt” way and then bound. No circular cutting or anything fancy.... just regular binding all the way around. As for cutting the center and the slit? If you have an artificial tree and don’t want to do the slit... you can do that and save the ribbons for some special gift giving.
As for those of us natural tree people, we will need the slit and have the opportunity to use the beautiful coordinating ribbons to this collection
This is definitely something that is “doable” so no need to be scared… I promise! The skirt is made on the larger size so that it will cover up any larger tree and still have plenty of “skirt” left for all those presents.
