It also lists two pics for two different sizes, i found the paper foundation pieces on the first pic and the end, I love this tree skirt in the 60" size, will have to make it and see. Thank you for sharing

Two patterns - which are you making?
I find two patterns - the first that comes up as "Frosted Trees" is just 48" diameter and my 'math' comes up with a bit more than 9 yards. The other one, also called "Frosted Trees" that is 60" diameter, I get just over 13 yards when I add the figures! Both are paper pieced and the foundations are at the end of the patterns. Which one are you making? I like the first one best but I'm not sure if the same size trees would work in a larger diameter.

I agree with crafterbarbara, paper piecing takes more fabric to start with although you will usually have a lot of scraps and cutting curves and angles also takes additional fabric. Both patterns are very cute but I like the contrast better in the 48" one...but that would come down to fabric choices for either.

I'm looking at a Christmas tree skirt pattern that is free from Windham Fabrics, called the Frosted Pines Tree Skirt. It is 60" in diameter and part of it is paper pieced....
In the requirements, it calls for almost 8 yards of fabric, not including the backing.....Can that be right?
Thanks!
