A gorgeous autumn quilt panel...
These panels are so beautiful
and hard to resist when you see them
at the quilt shops...
especially when you already have a big stash
of landscape fabrics in your cupboard at home
that will compliment them:
I cut up a bunch of squares from the
landscape fabrics and started to
build maple leaf blocks...
This is an excellent quilt block reference...

Directions for quilt blocks in 5 sizes !
It feels good to be using up some
of these stash fabrics !
Here come the leaf blocks:
Here is a maple leaf block on the design board
ready to be stitched together...
Here is is all stitched together...
I put a few of them up on the design wall
to see if they play well with the panel:
The yellow background fabric in the leaf blocks
is a good contrast with the
dark outer edges of the panel.
I have had this beautiful leaf fabric forever
and I am hoping to use it somewhere in this quilt.
I have about 18 maple leaf blocks
complete and need 6 more...
I will stitch a few more together, as time allows,
in between checking on the mama cows
and newborn calves.
