I think is is beautiful. You could use this after christmas as a round table cloth also. If the opening is velcroed shut. Any way I like it just the way it is.

I would use a green Christmas fabric as well as red Christmas fabric and quilt Christmas pictures based on age to use.

I love it. Thanks for the link. It would also make a great table topper.

Don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but I would use a green material with a holly print in the center circle, the triangles around the center square and then in the four triangles on the outside edge and then bind it in the same material. Just my thoughts.
