tree skirt - template used
After seeing some posts here I am considering making a tree skirt with the 9 degree 25" template. I am only hesitating because I wonder if that will be the only use for that template. Can it be used for other things? I have never made a round quilt, but I guess that template could make a quilt. Has anyone done that?

It can be used for many things. You can use it to make a more petaled Dresden plate, or a round table top cover/table cloth. And you may want to make more tree skirts in the future, as you get tired of one, do another, or maybe a gift for someone else.

I think they have an updated version of this book, I have an old one. There are at least 6 patterns listed.
go to phillipsfiberart.com

thank you for your response.. I will have to check out phillipsfiberart.com as well. I did think of trying to make my own, but I am concerned that I would mess it up. If I thought I would use the template more than one time I would have less hesitation buying one

I thought there was a tutorial on making your own template but haven't found it yet. I did see this tute on a tree skirt though in case you missed it. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...l-t150119.html
Here's another interesting thread about making your own. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t246199.html

I'm so glad that you posted this thread. I bought a wedge ruler after seeing this tree skirt pattern http://www.sulky.com/project/treeskirt/ The ruler I bought was an Omnigrid on sale at Joann's and and is seen here: http://www.prym-consumer-usa.com/bra...ITEM_NUM=RA624 I didn't know if the true wedge shaped one would be easier than this rectangular one with the lines. It's still wrapped in plastic in the closet. Maybe next Christmas? :-)
