Paper Pieced Trees

I'd originally planned to carve a tree or leaf stamp the other day. I was sketching ideas when I decided to draft a paper piecing pattern instead. I had a quick google for EQ7 tutorials, found this one and had this is what I came up with. A winter tree.

And then an autumn tree.

And then a little tree mini quilt of Cotton and Steel fabrics.

I love how a new obsession with rubber stamp carving has led to me expanding my quilting and designing skills.
