I designed and made this skirt tonight in a total of about 3 hours of work. It has 8 panels, with ruffle and trim at the bottom and an elastic waist. I used the french seams I learned for the Bo-peep skirt, hemmed the bottom of the assembled panels, and attached the ruffle & trim. Really it was pretty easy. The best part… this is made of just 5 fat-quarters! (1 fat quarter = ~18″ x ~22″ for those not in the know…)  4 FQ’s make the panels (8″ x 20″ each, for the size I wanted), with scraps used for the ruffle trim, and the fifth makes the ruffle (5 strips of 3.5″ x ~20, roughly 2x the skirt bottom circumference). It actually leaves almost no waste!  Wonderfully simple & highly recommended. A great instant-gratification project.
