I love decorating our home for the seasons, and while I tend to lean more toward winter decor than strictly Christmas, a quilted Christmas tree skirt has been on my quilting bucket list for years… until now! First, I’ll show you how to turn a quilt into a Christmas tree skirt, and then I’ll tell you all about the one I made. I’m so excited…so let’s go!

My newest quilt pattern, Petite Plaid, uses strip sets as part of the block construction. A few quilt sizes will have remnant strip sets after creating all of your blocks. Instead of adding those strip sets to the scrap pile, why not turn them into fun quilted coasters? 

The majority of quilt patterns instruct you to cut WOF strips…but most of them assume you already know how to do that. Whether this is your first time encountering the term “WOF strips” or you just want to perfect your cutting technique, I’m here to help!

From wall hangings to king size quilt patterns (and everything in between), there are so many options when choosing your next project. This guide offers a practical overview of the most common quilt sizes. 

All of these ideas are free, scrap-friendly and fast…so you can sew up enough gifts for all the teachers on your list before summer starts!
