Lily- The Christmas Tree Skirt

"Hello, My name is Lily. I am a Christmas tree skirt."

The tree skirt is a result of Project Quilting Season 8, Challenge 2. Inspired by the Carolina Lily.

Rather than piece traditional Carolina Lily blocks, I used an applique block designed by Lori Smith of "From My Heart To Your Hands".




I had never made a tree skirt before, and learnt as I made it up. along with a little bit of frog stitching (rippit, rippit).




The individual log cabin blocks were designed to reflect the shape of the Carolina Lily keeping with the theme.


This tree skirt is a gift for my MIL. The colours were chosen to match her Christmas tree.



The back of the tree skirt before it has a label.

Created in subtropical Far North Queensland, Australia. Measuring 24in x 24in. Made from 100% cotton, bamboo batting and jacquard ribbon.
