My mom saw my tree skirt and wanted one too so this is what I made her for Christmas.
She gets a table runner and a tree skirt! I should have sent these to her at Thanksgiving, but I didn't even know she would like them then. She can use it next year!:)
The tree skirt is 3' square and the table runner is approximately 5 feet long.
I have another table runner in the making for me which did not get done in time for Christmas this year. That is okay because it will be ready for next year!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited to add:
I was inspired to make the tree skirt by this tutorial over at crazymomquilts. I changed the size of the blocks to make them bigger, sashing, and the layout, but the construction of the blocks and the rest of the quilt (binding, hole in the middle) was made utilizing her helpful tutorial. This inspired the tablerunner as well. I also made one for a table top tree for me here.

I love the table runner and tree skirt, very much. The white gives a certain subtle beauty to the brighter red and greens. Beautiful gifts. I know your mom will enjoy both next year.
It's fun to click on the pix, enlarge them, see the details, especially the quilting as that's what's on my mind these days. WOW! Look at all you've done! I'm amazed and excited.
Hope you've enjoyed a wonderful Christmas time and know a safe & happy new year!
I love these - very pretty. And your Mom will love them next year - what a treasure! Happy New Year!
