How About this Piece of Fabulous?

This caught my eye on Ebay. It looked like it would make a nice little tree skirt for a feather-type tabletop tree. I'm enjoying it now on my kitchen table for a while, though. Did you notice that the center is a seven-pointed star?! I didn't until it arrived, and I really studied it. That makes it even more fun, I think.

it is lovely. I wonder what the heck angle to you need to sew to get a 7 pointed star?
I love the colors and I'll bet it makes a lovely table topper.
So, will you cut it for tree skirt? or use underneath?; June 19, 2012 at 2:08 PM

Karen said...: What an interesting piece. I had to count the center pieces twice. Wonder what happened. Maybe the maker cut the pieces too large.; June 19, 2012 at 4:24 PM

Kim said...: Sweet......nice colors and looks like lots of quilting too...how are the edges finished? Do I see some fraying there? Is it an old piece?
