Christmas Tree Skirt Use Hexagons To Show Off Favorite Christmas Fabrics

Make This Christmas Tree Skirt And Show Off The Hexagons

Hexagons create this Christmas tree skirt’s own appeal. A little off the tradiotnal track of the usual Christmas tree skirt, the hexagons are modern yet show off traditional Christmas fabric beautifully.

The hexagons so beautifully coordinated being mostly green with snowflakes fabric. Then a bright spark of red bringing the hexagon to life. Who would imagine that six hexagons sewn to create a circle, could be so appealing. For this time of the year they really could be called diamonds in the snow.

This project is perfect for a scrappy collection, and what better time of year to use it up. Most of us would have Christmas fabric scraps as Christmas comes round but once a year. Over the seasons, there would be some remnants and scraps which are great memories from Christmas times gone by. Perfect to use up in this project.

Just look at the fabric requirements… so little required. Who would believe a few scraps of fabric could be turned into something so pretty. Something to keep and use for many Christmases to come!

6– 15″ X 15″ blocks to cut large hexagons out of.

Print off the 5″ Hexagon template on Card Stock or heavy paper. Using the template cut 6 Hexagons. These will be the center of each quilt block.
