Christmas Celebration Tree Skirt

62″ Diameter • Fabrics: Hoffman 2018 Fall Batiks

(Not compatible with the previous version)

You’ve asked, and we listened! Originally published in 2008, quilters have often asked for a way to enlarge and square up Christmas Celebration Tree Skirt. To make that happen, we’ve increased the size to 62″ round, making it compatible with the B & C Groups of the Sunrise Mixer. This allows you to expand the quilt to 70″ round, and even square it up to be an 80″x80″ quilt. We’ve also re-written the instructions updating techniques to include Smart Corners, TRP Lines, and yardage options for several color concepts.

Here’s how it enlarging this pattern works. The Christmas Celebration Tree Skirt pattern fits into Group A of the Sunrise Mixer (62″ round).

You can add the purchase of the Sunrise Mixer Introduction booklet, along with your choice of 4 blocks from Group B (70″ round), and even square it up with your choice of 5 blocks from Group C (80″x80″).

GROUP B OPTIONS

Enlarge the diameter to 70″

GROUP C OPTIONS

Square it up to an 80″x80″ quilt
