One of the prettiest tree skirts I've ever seen.

Love the ruffle that you added. It really gives the skirt oomph.

When you sew the eight fabric strips together, the resulting strip set is 18.5" wide. A ruler that is only 10" long wouldn't reach the whole width of the set. I used a nine degree, 24" wedge ruler. The trickiest part for me was lining up the 12" mark on the wedge ruler with the middle seam of the strip set every time. I found it easy to misalign the ruler. The 12" line on my wedge ruler is actually 9-3/8" from the top of the ruler. I suppose the 12" mark is the radius of the circle that the wedges make when sewn together.

Beautiful! I saw something similar on pinterest but it didn't have the ruffle. I will have to try your trick for making the ruffle using the crochet yarn. Sounds like it's easier to gather and will probably be easier on my hands.
