1. Follow
the instructions in the Lone Star Quick
Kit package to make the eight diamond sections. You'll find a tutorial
for using the Quiltsmart Lone Star Kit here
2. Cut triangles of the background fabric by cutting eight 13” squares, then
cutting these in half on the diagonal.
3. Stitch
two of the triangles to each diamond as shown.
Make
8
4. Sew the eight together,
leaving one seam unstitched.
5. Cut a 4” diameter hole
in the center.
6. Quilt
and bind as desired.
Note:
A fast and easy alternative is the “quick turn” method. Cut a piece of background fabric
to match the top. Pin the two pieces
right sides together and stitch ¼” from the raw edges. Leave a gap of about 8” for turning
the piece right side out.
Add
ribbon, cord, or bias tape for ties to secure the skirt around the tree
base.
