First - it's beautiful. Second - if you want more, make more! Third - you don't get the full effect when it's covered up with the centerpiece on the table!

Finally - did I mention that it's beautiful!!!

The first one is a larger table topper, the tree skirt is like it, the 2nd one is a smaller table topper for the LR coffee table. #3 is the lap quilt. Obviously, I think that you should make them all.

I would finish it as a table topper or add to it for a table cloth. The reds mean you could use it for more than just Christmas and you have a wonderful dinning area to display it in.

If you have the time and fabric, I would do all three.

Lovely quilt as is. Thanks for the tip of putting plastic over it when on the table; especially when having a party and using the table as a buffet.

Really lovely on your table! I would have a challenge cutting it for a tree skirt.. maybe another pattern would be easier to cut for a tree shirt.

Love the pattern, congrats you did a beautiful job. Love it on the table, make more! Personally I would change up the fabrics at least a little for the tree skirt and lap quilt, but that's just me. Post pics next Christmas!
