Today as the sun is shining and the birds are singing, I am thinking of Christmas! This week I have finished up some BIG projects and in my stash and projects cabinet I have a Christmas tree skirt I am working on! I found these great red and white strips on sale at my local quilt shop and thought they would go great alternating with a solid piece of fabric.
That's when I found this. It is so beautiful. The detail is so hard to see here but it is gorgeous!
Love the white snow flakes! Actually, I really just LOVE this fabric. The colors are so Christmas!
At the Denver Quilt Mart I found this wedge ruler that I have been looking for. I have only seen it in magazines and I don't want to have to pay shipping on the crazy size! It is a Phillips Fiber Art Ten Degree Wedge. It makes a 50 inch circle with 36 wedges. So I am cutting out 18 red and white wedges and 18 solid Christmas fabric wedges. I will alternate them to form the circle!
Here is the free pattern that comes with the wedge. I am not going to make my wedges zig zag, just straight lines. There was a book that accompanied the wedge that I could purchase that showed how to use this wedge to make butterflies and birds, but I just wanted to make the Christmas tree skirt. I could use it to make GIANT dresden quilts too I guess!
Here is the link to the wedge: http://www.phillipsfiberart.com/
While investigating this wedge, I found out they are from Delta, Colorado! Cool! Beautiful quilts made with this wedge!!!
Here is the book that went with the wedge. http://phillipsfiberart.danemcoweb.com/shop/product/quilts-without-corners/
Here is a second book that also went with the wedge:
