Log Cabin Christmas Tree Skirt

Linda and I went to a quilting class yesterday at the Quilting Store in Pinetop. We are learning how to make a Log Cabin Christmas Tree Skirt. I had my 4 red and white squares down after 6 hours of class yesterday. Here is one of them.
We have to have all of our blocks done by our next class that is in 2 weeks. We will then piece them together and quilt it. This is what I have done so far. I still have to do my 4 corner blocks.
This is what the tree skirt should look like when I am all done. It looked a lot smaller in the window of the quilting store. When I saw it hanging on the wall I was very intimidated at the start of class. It looked so difficult hanging there on the wall. The toughest part was cutting all the strips of material. Once the teacher explained how to do the pattern and I did a couple of logs, it made a lot more sense and I realized it looked harder than it actually was. I can't wait to have it finished. Aaron says I am making a family heirloom and it is really a piece of art. I really enjoyed the class and excited to learn more about quilting. Aaron actually bought me a quilting magazine tonight at the store so I could learn other patterns. He is the best!
