Default Spiral Christmas Tree Skirts

I found this pattern by Cheryl Phillips on the internet. I realized if I cut the wedges carefully, I could get two skirts out of the same amount of fabric (except for the ruffle and backing, of course). So here they are. I learned the trick of gathering a ruffle by using a zigzag stitch over crochet yarn - very handy when you have 320" of fabric to gather. I reduced the amount used to 240" for the second skirt, and I liked that better. The skirts are reversible (the ruffle fabric is the backing). I quilted them to accentuate the spiral with gold metallic thread. Thanks for looking.
