The Windham Fabrics Frosted Pines Tree Skirt II is a downloadable PDF quilting and sewing pattern designed by Stacey Day for Windham Fabrics. This festive project guides quilters through constructing a beautiful pieced Christmas tree skirt, making it a standout holiday decoration. The pattern is available as a free downloadable PDF and is rated intermediate in difficulty, making it well-suited for quilters who are comfortable with foundational piecing techniques and working with multiple fabric pieces and templates.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a quilted Christmas tree skirt titled O' Christmas Tree Frosted Pines Tree Skirt. The finished piece is designed to sit beneath a Christmas tree as a decorative holiday accent. The tree skirt is constructed from multiple wedge-shaped and pieced sections assembled in a circular format, creating a full, elegant skirt with intricate patchwork detail. The design evokes a wintry, frosted woodland aesthetic consistent with the Frosted Pines fabric collection by Windham Fabrics.

Pattern Templates and Construction Overview

The pattern includes four numbered templates and two foundation paper-piecing foundations, each printed to specific quantities to complete the full tree skirt:

• Template 1: Cut 16 pieces from Fabric A — includes a 1/4" seam allowance
• Template 2: Cut 16 pieces from Fabric A — includes a 1/4" seam allowance
• Template 3: Cut 8 pieces from Fabric D, plus 4 pieces each from Fabric E and Fabric F — includes a 1/4" seam allowance
• Template 4: Cut 16 pieces from Fabric A — includes a 1/4" seam allowance

All templates include a printed 1-inch test square to ensure accurate scaling when printing the PDF pages at home.

Foundation Paper Piecing Sections

The pattern makes significant use of foundation paper piecing (FPP), a precise quilting technique in which fabric pieces are sewn directly onto a printed paper foundation in a numbered sequence. This method ensures sharp points, accurate angles, and consistent results — particularly valuable when constructing the detailed tree motifs within each wedge section.

• Foundation 1: Print 16 pages. This foundation features numbered piecing sections using Fabric A, Fabric B, and Fabric J. Specific cut sizes are provided for each numbered piece, including rectangles such as 2 1/2" x 9", 2 1/2" x 5 1/2", 2 1/4" x 4", and smaller accent pieces in Fabric J at 2" x 2 1/2".
• Foundation 2: Print 2 pages. This foundation uses Fabric A and Fabric K, with pieces cut to sizes including 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" and 1 3/4" x 2 1/2", arranged in a symmetrical numbered sequence.

Techniques Used

• Foundation paper piecing (FPP) — used for the detailed tree and accent blocks within each wedge section
• Template cutting — four distinct templates are provided for the outer wedge and accent shapes
• Precision piecing — all seam allowances are a consistent 1/4 inch, standard in quilting
• Circular assembly — individual wedge units are joined to form the complete round tree skirt shape
