Christmas Tree Skirt or Quilt
 

I'm almost finished with this tree skirt and thought to myself "wow that's going to be huge" because I still have a border to put on..So I was thinking of changing it to a Christmas Quilt. If I do would anyone know how I should square it up? Any help would be appreciated..

that is so pretty!!!

This one might look better.. Thanks for looking.

I would leave it just as it is and make it a quilt. It is absolutely beautiful.

It is so beautiful.

It is very beautiful. Just leave it the shape is is.

Very pretty. Not sure where you need to square it up? I would just even up the last green round, and if you have enough fabric and bind it in that same dark green, you won't notice any unevenness.

This is gorgeous! I love the shape of it. Maybe use it for a table cloth? Or send it to me! :D lol Just kidding. Great work.

Didn't Dunster have a pattern for the Diamond Log Cabin? That might help you with your quest.

The four triangles you need to make square corners on this quilt measure 30/60/90. To get two outer edges for your quilt without a bias edge, measure from a line along the grain to make a 30 degree angle, and extend the triangle out long enough to make a seam across two of your diamonds, with the bias edge sewn to the diamonds. Two of these big triangles should be placed so their skinny end points, the 30 degree angle, meet at the point of one of your outer diamonds. Mirror this on the opposite side of your quilt, and you should end up with a rectangle.

Just gorgeous!!

Kitty, everything about your quilt is gorgeous. I love log cabins. What pattern did you use?



P.S. I agree with erindipity: send it to me :D:D

I used Eleanor Burns Diamond Log Cabin pattern..and thank you everyone for your kind comments..

no help here, but it sure is pretty

That is gorgeous!! Great job!! :thumbup:

That is a showstopper version for sure.

What about a tablet topper?

No matter what you do with it, it will be gorgeous!

I love it.

Just beautiful, like your fabric choices.

Yeah, me too!

You could square it up, but it would make a fine table topper as is.

I wouldn't worry about squaring it up. Just get it quilted in time for putting under the tree.

Awesome. BrendaK

I knew there was a reason I should have been more attentive in geometry class! LOL You quilters really step up to the plate when someone needs help. I love this place.

Love the shape of the diamond shape. I would leave it the way it is. It will look nice on your table (or floor) the way it is. If you want to minimize the size you can skip the border and just bind it. It is really beautiful.

Beautiful! I would hang that one on a wall or hang over a railing.

Thanks for sharing. It is absolutely gorgeous.

It is so lovely. I agree with members who say leave as is--if you're happy with that.

I agree. Leave as is. I see wall hanging.

It is gorgeous! You could use it for a wall hanging just the way it is or a topper for a table

What a terrific look - I wouldn't hide it under a tree!

Very pretty

Thanks to everyone for their replies..I think I will leave it as is...You guys are the greatest!

It's gorgeous!

That is gorgeous!!! I think you could use it as it is.

Absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't do a thing to it

It is lovely and will make a gorgeous quilt. I would add triangles since two sides are straight. Good luck.
