Almost Half Done Quilting Christmas Tree Skirt

I'm just about to the halfway point on the Christmas tree skirt.

Micro-stippling around the ornament

Ornament pattern is from a book my sister gave me called 'Iris Paper-Piecing'.  It was originally a hot-air balloon with a basket under it; I added a point (seen in previous post) to what was supposed to be the top of the balloon, and a hanging loop to the other.

I split this block diagonally, as this will be where the slit is.

Four blocks and three star rays are quilted.  I'll finish it next week.
