Tree Of Life Patchwork Quilt

Make a quilt using one of the best-loved traditional patchwork blocks: the Tree of Life block. Deborah Dorward's quilt pattern will take you through all the steps for creating your own version of her quilt. Take inspiration from the original design by using reproduction fabrics or try something different with modern prints for a completely unique look.

• Use your favourite method to make the half-pieced triangle units for the leaves
• It's easy to vary the size of the quilt: just make more or fewer blocks
• A fun scrappy quilt project, so raid your stash
