Looking for tree skirt pattern
 

I have looked all over for this pattern. Can anyone help me?
I tried to put up a picture but the address below is the best I could do.
I would appreciate any help.

I found this one. You could fill in the background with more additional strips. Sometimes when patterns are embedded in a quilt book they are hard to find.

I might be able to make that work. I saw the picture but no mention is made of the pattern or where it was found. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried contacting the Etsy person to see what pattern she used?

I had not even thought of that. Where she is trying to sell them I wonder if she will tell me. I will try anyways. I guess that was too obvious for me to think of. Duh!! thanks

McCall's Quilting Mag, Nov/Dec 2014 (just came out) has a pattern called Bursting Star that would work. All you have to do is change the edge for an octagon instead of square, and make a hole for the middle. You can go on their website to see the quilt. Finished is 42.5 sq.

Just saw on FB the Bursting Star pattern as a quilt along on McCalls: http://www.mccallsquilting.com/BurstingStar

You could also adapt from this pattern by Jinny Beyer: http://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-w...5E97594EDD1B58

She has an instructional video, as well as tips and lessons here: http://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-w...54BB98981E6E85

I have been studying the pattern you want to make your tree skirt out of and it is like this McCalls pattern except that it does not have the corners. If you add a 1/4" seam allowance beyond one half of the outermost diamonds (number 7 below) and cut the rest off, it looks like you have the octagon shape. I took a Luminous Star Craftsy class and it was very helpful. They Had you piece strips, staggering them as you piece them, and then cut out the whole row at a 45 degree angle. The sides of the strips are two opposite sides of the diamond. If you look at your picture, it appears that the skirt is made up of seven colors with eight sections around (repeats). Note: you can tell where the section starts and stops as the direction changes. Color one at the center is repeated as it is later cut for the circle. In EACH SECTION, you would strip the following rows:11234567,1234567,234567,34567,4567,567,67,7. the McCalls week one class gave amounts of fabric needed but I don't think it gave the size of the diamonds. You will cut your strip width according to the size of the diamond. I will follow their weekly free lesson. Thanks for posting the picture. It will be on my to do list (along with a zillion others)! I hope this made sense. If not, PM me.

here is a tute from Debbie Shore and you do not need to buy a special ruler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoTNEeYtZ5g
