I’ve had the rounds of a Christmas tree skirt cut out for several years now. I knew I wanted to do applique on them, but was having trouble figuring out what exactly I wanted to applique; trees, houses, snowmen. So many ideas; so little time. So I kept putting it off. My quilt guild has a thing called the Ott Light. Each month everyone who is at the meeting has their name put in a drawing. If you are drawn you have one month to finish a project your ought to have finished by now. Guess who got drawn last month. Me!
It was just the push I needed to finish my tree skirt. I pulled out my green and brown scrap bins. Cut up a bunch of trees and trunks. Arranged them around my circles and got busy appliqueing them down. Before long I had this cute little top.
Over the weekend I sandwiched the layers. I have until noon on Thursday to get my Oh Christmas Tree skirt quilted. Wish me luck!
Good luck, just remember finished is better than stuffed in the back of the cupboard!
How CUTE is that?!! Love it and hopefully it's done!
