Snowflake Tree Skirt PAPER-PIECING
WITH SOME APPLIQUE
ADOPTED!
This
is a VERY rough "virtual" rendition of what I was heading for.
That's
a red bow swag all around (in case it's difficult to see).
There is no fabric in the ? areas yet--it's up to you!
See below for picture
of "stuff."
State
of Origin: California
Donor: Linda W
Makes: A
hexagonal snowflake-and-bows tree skirt
Technique(s): Paper piecing
on butcher paper, original design, NOT a printed pattern. Some applique and inset
seaming.
Difficulty to resume: Difficult. I would recommend
this project ONLY to an expert puzzler and paper piecer with an imagination.
This is a complicated design, around 60% pieced--bows and spokes of the snowflake.
You'll have to figure out color placement in the middle above the bows, because
I don't have a clue anymore. Or, redesign that area, simplifying it. There's a
sketch, but it does not match the pattern exactly. There is some applique and
inset seaming. You'll have to fill in with some fabrics. The "right"
person could still have a spectacular outcome, even if substitutions are made.
I will answer questions to the best of my ability, but basically you are
on your own.
Story: I was well underway making this tree skirt
for my sister but I started too late, got overwhelmed, had a meltdown, and obviously
quit before finishing it.
Contents: Many butcher paper pattern pieces,
a high number of finished sections, etc. The original sketch (and enlargement)
of 1/6 design, but the sketch is not exact. Some fabric that goes with it, but
amounts are surely insufficient. A very rough, numbered, placement diagram. I
stapled pattern pieces and pieced sections together. I'll print out the virtual
layout above and anything else I might have that could help. Only
crazy people need apply!
ADOPTED!
