Christmas Tree Skirt tutorial
Finished skirt size 50.5"x50.5" square
Materials needed:
1/2 yard green material
1/2 yard white print material
1 1/2 yards solid white material
1/4 yard brown material
1/2 yard red material
1 1/2 yards blue material
(material shown is Figgy Pudding by Moda)
Start by:
Cut your red, green, brown and white print materials into 2 1/2"x width strips. Sew together like the picture above.
Cut those strip sets into 2.5" strips.
For your center block you will need a 6.5" square of white fabric. Sew the 2.5" blocks around the outside to create a border.
From your white material you will cut all of the remaining material into 1.5" strips.
You will attach this material as the next border.
As shown in the picture above. Repeat on all four sides.
Make sure to measure, cut and pin your borders to ensure that your tree skirt will lay properly.
Now add a 2.5" blue border.
Add another white 1.5" border.
Now add a block border.
Add another white 1.5" border.
Continue adding borders,

Quilt your tree skirt.
After the skirt is quilted cut a circle in the center. We used a roll of tape as a template however things like soup bowls work very well too!
Cut a straight line as shown in the image above.
Bind with red material and add ties to the back of the circle.
Put under your Christmas Tree and enjoy!
I love this tree skirt because it's washable and perfect to make from your scraps!
Enjoy! Happy Holidays from Piece N Quilt!

This is adorable!
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial. thanks.
Very Neat idea. I have put off for years making a tree skirt. Maybe I will get motivated after looking at your skirt.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great tutorial. I love it. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree skirt. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.
ReplyDeleteGreat tute! I love all the borders :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I have some beautiful Christmas fabrics and couldn't decide on what to do with them. Voila! I'm also a new quilter and this will be a good project for me to work on!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a really beautiful and wonderful tutorial! I would be sad to cover such a lovely tree skirt with presents under the tree! I've been using a large piece of scalloped felt for a tree skirt since I don't mind covering it up and getting dirty with pine needles. I'd love to make a pretty tree skirt like yours for Christmas this year!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I featured this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com Grab my 'freatured' button.

ReplyDeleteMy sister is passionate for all things Christmas and this will be the perfect gift for her. This is the first tree skirt that I've seen that I really really like and your tutorial is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your talent!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a tree skirt I might actually be able to make! Can you tell me if it would take more than one jellyroll to substitute for the 2.5" strips? That would save a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteMy mom plans to make this using lots of scraps from her Christmas stash. Although I was just doing the math in my head and the 50 inch square finished size doesn't sound right. When I drew it out on paper to double check, I got 60 inch square finished.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused about the 6.5 square. It looks like you have pieced pieces to gether to make that 6.5 square? Are we supposed to cut that "solid white material" for that part into strips, as well, because it just says the green, brown, red and white print. Thanks!! Maybe I'm too visual for my own good. :)
ReplyDeletelove this!!!!!!!!!!!
