Maple Leaf Quilt Block

Happy Tuesday Friends.

Wait…hold the phone. Yes I’m posting on a Tuesday which is highly unusual 🙂 I wanted to pop in and share some photos of my completed Maple Leaf Quilt Blocks. Fat Quarter Shop is hosting another great series called Classic and Vintage. They are re-doing some classic blocks in fun new ways.

I was lucky enough to be a part of the fun and really wanted something that felt modern and classic. I had this great Lori Holt Autumn Love text print that a quilty BFF gave me and I thought it would make a perfect background.

Next I grabbed some Cotton + Steel Basics Dottie in Tangerine and used that as my jumping off point.

I also had a really fun Patrick Lose orange print in my stash that worked well with the C+S.

This was as close as I could find online. It really matches the C+S tangerine well. Sometimes uploading the images changes the color a bit.

Anyway, the other prints are all from my stash. I believe the little arrows are an Art Gallery print but I’d already cut the selvedge off so I can’t be sure.

This is such a quick and easy block and some day I would love to make a fall themed throw quilt with leaves in multiple colors. For now I plan on turning these into pot holders to use this time of year.
