Quilting Started on Christmas Tree Skirt

I'm 'floating' the top of the Christmas tree skirt (as opposed to rolling it on the front bar), and have started quilting it.  So far, so good.  There's a long ways to go!

I'll do microquilting around the ornament.  When I roll the quilt forward, I'll try to keep it a bit loose around the take-up bar so as not to distort the smocking or ribbon embroidery or beads.
