…so I made it a skirt.
(though perhaps I shouldn’t use the word ‘naked’ in my title, or I might find myself with visitors looking for something other than sewing crafts!)
This tree skirt is inspired by amandajean’s tree skirt, as seen here in her Christmas tree skirt tutorial. I love her log cabin blocks, but I just didn’t have the patience!
I grabbed all the fabrics I had in red, green and brown and created 7″ blocks, each using 2 fabrics. I wanted my tree skirt to be a bit larger, so I created enough blocks to ultimately make a square about 60″. (It looks like it shrunk a bit in the wash, and is now about 57″ square.)
My goal was to finish it on Saturday so that we could get the tree on Sunday… I didn’t quite make it, as I was still hand sewing the binding on Sunday morning, but I’m pleased to say that I got it finished and now the tree looks lovely!
Now I should get busy sewing so there will be some presents to put under the tree!
A winner, and a little procrastination…

Very nice! I really should be making one too. Our tree is naked.
It looks beautiful! I was eyeing that same skirt last night and wondering if I have time. Now I really really want one too.
I love it!
It’s so cute – I want to make one!!
And too funny about using the word naked in your title… I’ve had a couple of “interesting” visitors because of my mentions of (making quilts for) twin girls. Somehow I suspect my blog disappoints these visitors. But maybe they learn something about quilting! Ha!
I love it. I like the idea that it’s bigger.
What a great tree skirt. When Morgan mentioned it on the phone I didn’t think it was going to be as big. Perfect for actually fitting all of your presents! Love how you did the opening, too.
That skirt will be a cozy pasture for all the gifts. Again, seeing that, makes me wanna get quilty
Wow, I can’t believe how quick you whipped that out. I can’t imagine being such a fast quilter, I’m not even to the quilting stage yet! It’s beautiful, btw.
Beautiful tree skirt!
it’s a beautiful skirt!
Awesome! We have our first tree. I think the Yankee Swap could use a tree skirt!!!
I love this tree skirt. I like how it is different and not round like a typical tree skirt. Good job.
