Smocked Christmas Tree Block, Embellished

The first block for the Christmas tree skirt is done.  Tell me, why did I choose taffeta, and metallic thread, for my very first smocking project?!

    1. Thanks, Cat and Donna!

      I'm planning to make 5 more in different Christmas designs, and make the tree skirt a hexagon. Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps. ;-)
