Getting ready to quilt this little beauty...
Didn't quite have time to get this lovely tree skirt quilted before Christmas, but it made a beautiful table topper! We just laid it out over a white tablecloth and covered the table with clear vinyl. It looked so pretty... do I want to slice it up the middle to fit around the tree, or just keep it as a topper? Or maybe not, because the design details get a little lost, hanging off the table.
Maybe I should add a couple more borders to square it up and make a lovely Lap Quilt?
Or maybe I should just make all three! Decisions, decisions. Ü
UPDATE: This one is now a finished Tree Skirt! Can't wait for Christmas to come around again!
Very pretty. I have made two of these and really love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy, Marla! I love the prints you used in the picture on your blog. You can upload your projects right on the pattern page at Craftsy - here's a link: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/76778/addProject
DeleteLovely. Go the topper or quilt. It would be lost under the tree.
ReplyDeletejust another maybe foe you How about a new table to fit the cloth!! This is a lovely piece
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Margaret! Though I do love the table. Oh, I know, I'll make a smaller one to fit the table... Brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?
DeleteMaybe I can get them both done by NEXT Christmas. As of today, I have 312 days...
DeleteI don't know if anyone else sees this but the dining room chair on the left of the picture looks like a face crying!! lol
ReplyDeletelol, Michele! I've never noticed that... My husband made those chairs, based on a Bavarian antique.
DeleteWhatever you do with it, it will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteGosh....that's a tough decision. It would be beautiful either way.
ReplyDeleteJust fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning and will look beautiful however you finish it!
ReplyDeleteHow about a wall hanging to add another option? It is a beautiful piece of work.
ReplyDeleteFrom the first photo I didn't realize how large it is. Absolutely stunning! It looks amazing on the table. Maybe you could clone it to have all the options. Creative Stitching Bliss...
ReplyDeleteI love this as a table topper! Hmm...you might need another one! Love this!
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for the lap quilt, I think it would be a shame to hide it away under the tree, and even on a bigger table it'll be covered up with plates etc too much of the time - it needs to be seen! Mind you, wall hanging sounds good too...!
ReplyDeleteThe piece is beautiful--I love the colors--and would be a great lap quilt. It would be a shame to hide such a great design under a tree.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great on the table. It is larger than I thought it would be. I would love to have all three so I am not much help. It looks like a fun design.

I would love to get the pattern for the lap quilt as this would make a great quilt for my hospital babies.
