Just finished this! I used the same snowmen patterns and some of the leftover fabric from the snowman quilt I finished a couple of weeks ago.

It's cute. The sparkly snowman fabric is great.

It's great - love the style of the snowmen. Too bad you can't use it as a tree scarf instead of a skirt, that way you could see their happy faces!

The binding is pieced. I had a bunch of 2" strips left from the quilt so I cut them into 1 1/2" segments and pieced them together. Took me longer to make the binding than it did the rest of the project!!! :lol:

I agree Jackie...but then her quilting always looks great!

mgshaw 12-13-2009 09:20 AM

Aww, thanks you guys!!!!! :-D
I've got the stipple/meander down pretty good now. I had gotten pretty good at feathers but havent done any practicing on them and tried one the other day and well, it didnt look so good at all! :D

mgshaw 12-13-2009 03:14 PM

I have had a number of private requests for the pattern so I thought I would post the link to the quilt pattern that is used for the snowman.

It looks great! Did you piece them together on an angle or a straight seam? I was thinking about adding some color to a binding I will be doing and was wondering if it made a difference if the pieces weren't joined on an angle.

Sooooooo pretty! You'll enjoy this for years to come!

RedGarnet222 12-13-2009 06:39 PM

Very very cute tree skirt. You did a nice job on the colors too.
