I've been starting to think of making one ... I was thinking of a hexagon table skirt pattern from Eleanor Burns and putting a slit in it for the tree. Or perhaps a carpenter's star?
Or???? ... looking for inspiration and more ideas too!

I actually did do a search here, and Yarn or Fabric your link didn't show up for me..??.. Now, maybe it was the searchee (me) however... ;) So, thank you for posting it!!
Thank you to all of you for the links and ideas...
As to the degree wedge rulers, I recall seeing a link somewhere here that leads to a site where the have a pdf for a quilt, and with it is a paper template for a "wedge"...I printed it out, and was going to make if from foam board, but my dh said he would make me one that was sturdier...it is a loooong wedge, not sure if that is how they should be, need to do more research... Anyways, I will try and find that link and post it here...
Thanks again,
Kif

I just had to come back and give you a big cyber hug!! Now my problem is which one to make??!! :-D I had one I made 20+ years ago, when our son was a baby...it is one of the felt ones with all of the bead, sequin, embroidery embellishment...took quite a long time to make.. Our son graduated from college and bought his 1st house last year, so I "gifted" that skirt and the ornaments we had bought him thru the years to him for his Christmas tree...what memories....(mini boohoo). However, I did have to keep his "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament...I am not THAT nice!!...
Anyways, now I need to make one for dh and I..and our empty nest tree...I think I need to go and just get started on it, or my "mini boohoo" may turn maxi!!
Thanks again,
Kif
