Don't let the beauty of this tree skirt make you jittery... It's easy piecing, monotone, and will take just a few steady days to get it well under way! The French Braid technique is useful when needing to create a border finish, add an extra block to a quilt, or just use up some of your stash in a place mat. In this tree skirt, it creates radiating points accented with dark contrasting fabrics.
