Maple Leaf FPP Quilt Block

This Maple Leaf FPP Quilt Block pdf pattern is ideal for so many Autumn or Fall themed projects. I think it’s because maple trees are so incredibly grand and beautiful and their colours through Autumn are just so stunning.

The maple leaf, with its vibrant hues of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns, along with it’s intricate veins means that it really is a timeless symbol of autumn’s beauty.

If you are making a cosy patchwork quilt to snuggle under or a project to celebrate the seasons of the year then is Maple Leaf quilt block will fit right in.

The pdf download includes pattern pieces so you can make the Maple Leaf quilt block in either a 6″ or 10″ finished block size.

In this pattern there are only two seams to match (they are at the point where the stem meets the base of the leaf so do take care if you want to get it ‘just right‘).

When I designed the Maple Leaf block I really had Autumn/Fall in mind and made up my samples with the gorgeous Makower Bijoux ginger print. The attraction of a Maple Leaf however is all of the beautiful colours that it goes through before it hits the ground. Why not try a beautiful burgundy shade or something on the yellow/orange scale. You could of course even make a green version!

There are so many fabulous blenders and batiks available that all lend themselves wonderfully to a Maple Leaf. Have a look in your stash and see what you’ve got…failing that then it’s time to go shopping.

  • Hi Victoria. My husband bought this pattern for me sometime earlier this year. I didn’t look through it carefully as I wasn’t ready to start making it. He printed what he thought was the pattern but it was just the instructions and not the pattern pieces . His name was Shane ladanchuk (email would have been Willy.Ladanchuk@yahoo .com. Any chance you can re-send him or I the paper pattern pieces? Thank-you.
