Woodland Raccoon
This free paper piecing quilt pattern makes an adorable woodland raccoon. Make a whole toddler quilt blanket with it, or create a small block design. You decide. I love the high contrast with the blue. Note that the small flower embellishments may cause harm to children under the age of 3, so I'd be careful with that. I adore the flower crown idea but perhaps better if it is sewn on, like an appliqué.

Tropical Palm Trees
This is a very easy beginners paper piecing tree pattern offered free.
By. Alice Hadley via Gathered.
If you have a bit of skill in designing, I would copy this original and curve the tree truck by a few degrees. I also would break the leaves into more realistic components, as palm tree branches are long leaves or rows of leaves which are usually clucked together with a knack in it somewhere. Again, by creating a little bit more curve and realism you can transform this pattern into greatness. To top it off, I would add a few coconuts. If that's 'a challenge' in paper piecing, how about adding a touch of embroidery or appliqué. You will find that by adding more detail, you'll tell a better artistic story.

Tree Paper Piecing Pattern & Video tutorial
Perhaps I should have started with Jennifer's free paper piecing tree video tutorial and pattern. This is an amazing free resources as Jennifer really is a quilting instructor and it shows in how she has put this video together. Her key tip for beginning with this work is to stick to all pure cotton quilting fabrics for your project and to choose your fabrics carefully in color and texture, as the fabrics choices personalise this tree design and you quilted work of art.
This more involved pattern comes with a video tutorial.
