First project of 2014

This is my new Christmas tree skirt completed January 1, 2014.  It is entirely of Christmas prints with a red ruffle and a green felt backing.  There are four trees made from one print each plus four 16-patch corner blocks of different prints.  The pieced border is about 4 inches wide made entirely of Christmas prints sewn end-to-end.  It measures about 45 inches square. 

The label indicates I remade the skirt from the previous one.  That one was a huge circular green felt piece with Christmas prints glued/sewn on and had the red ruffle.  I salvaged what I needed for the new patchwork skirt. 
The new backing made from the old (1995) green felt skirt with some of the fabric and the ruffle. 






Now I'm all set for next December--it will be here sooner than I think.  Happy New Year everyone!
