Well it is time to do my 6 month post.  I have finished off a few project since I was last here and thought I would share them with you.  

Some of my quilts I had in our quilt show here in our small town.This one is a Christmas quilt, the fabric I bought down in the Black Hills last summer

My Underground Railroad wall hanging, in the upper left corner. The one on the right is my moms wall  hanging.

 This one I made all from scraps. It was fun to make.  I used wool batting and I liked the results.

 This is the one I made for the camper a few years ago but just got the binding on.  It was different doing the scalloped edges.

This baby quilt was made for my good friend that had her first baby.  In each plain block I quilted a different design.  I really liked how it turned out.

Christmas Tree Skirt

To make a great tree skirt using the 10 degree wedge ruler.  First you need three different fabrics.  Cut into strips

A...12 strips...5 1/2 x width  (my red)
B...12 strips...3 1/2 x width  (my green)
C....6  strips...2 1/2 x width  (my black print)

Fabric needed......A...2 yd
                             B...1 3/8 yd
                             C    3/4 yd
                           Backing 3 1/8 yd
                           Batting 54 x 54
                           Binding  5/8 yd

Sew the strips together...will have three of these strip sets.  Offset the strips by..top to bottom...2 inch, 3.5, 2.5, 3.5  

You will also have three of these strip sets.  Offset these by starting with bottom red...3.5inches, 2.5,3.5,2Now it's time to get the ruler out. Put the 45 degree line between the green and the black fabric.  Cut 6 wedges per strip set. So a total of 36 wedges.18 wedges each pileSew the wedges together.  Two at a time and then sew those together so you have four.  Keep going till you have them all together but leave one side open.  Now I just need to find some backing.  Hope this makes sense and you can make one for next year.   Happy New Year.
