Paper Pieced Trees Quilt

Oh but I CAN see the forest for the trees!



I’ve wanted to make a little forest of trees for some time now.  Checking that off my list.  And it is a ‘little’ forest.  



When all sewn together, each tree block measures just about 3.25” X 2.25”.
I wanted a selvedge border so I dug around in my selvedges tote for neutral selvedges.



Then the little wallhanging stalled while I figured out how to stitch the selvedges for an inner border.  Of course I eventually figured it out.


Simple in the ditch quilting.



It was finally finished.  I’m SO pleased.



I tried out a couple of tree sizes before deciding.  The tiniest one turned into a cutie pie of a pincushion.
The block was SO TINY it didn’t look fun to sew so I added a bit of a border.  It was still so little.  But so cute.



I now have a very small collection of four little pinnies in my pinnie jar.

   

I actually use the skeleton one so it doesn’t really live in the jar.



I like that the little trees quilt can be hung for me to enjoy at any time of the year.  Right now it might be a Christmas tree farm.  Later a forest.
