Both of those are a good idea, thanks Izy and Pal.
I'll be starting it hopefully tomorrow afternoon.
Have to get more Christmas fabric. I thought I had enough, but for some reason, I don't :(

sounds pretty and easy!

Izy, I like the star shaped one - thanks for the pattern.

I have a tree that needs a skirt, think the star shaped one is great, thanks for the pattern

Your welcome everyone for the star pattern, the more I look at it, the more I see some fun applique, something like Santa and his sleigh going round :D
