Maple Leaf Quilt Block Tutorial

Today I'm sharing a tutorial for these classic Maple Leaf quilt blocks!

Before we get started, I want to let you know that there's a free printable version of these instructions available here. I've included two sizes for you, a 9 1/2" block and a 12 1/2" block.

Want to see what you can make with these blocks? Be sure to scroll to the end to see the quilt I made using the 12.5" blocks.

For this example I'll be using a single print to make one block but these Maple Leaf blocks are also really fun as a scrappy block. So pull out those scraps and give it a try!

Here's what you'll need for one 12.5" x 12.5" block

• 4 print squares, 4.5" x 4.5"
• 2 print squares, 5" x 5"
• 2 background squares, 5" x 5"
• 1 background square, 4.5" x 4.5"
• 2 background squares, 4" x 4"

The Mod Mugs quilt pattern in Oh What Fun fabrics

Today I'm sharing a lap size version of the Mod Mugs quilt pattern. I actually finished this one up a few months ago and shared it on Instagram as a part of the Oh What Fun fabric tour with Poppie Cotton, but wanted to share it here as well!

These sweet Christmas fabrics are perfect for this Mod Mugs quilt - they're all medium- and small scale, they have a vintage feel to them and the colors are so cheery. The little pink Santa print is my favorite in the group!

The Mod Mugs Quilt Pattern

Introducing the Mod Mugs quilt pattern - a precut friendly quilt pattern with four size options. I love this cozy, wintery version sewn up in Winterglow fabrics by Ruby Star Society.

Mod Mugs is a modern and fun, traditionally pieced pattern - meaning there's no paper piecing or templates needed - just basic piecing skills. 

I wanted to create a no-fuss Mug quilt that could be customized with different fabrics and optional whip cream topping. I kept the size of the mugs big enough so you could show off your favorite medium and large scale prints. Or fussy cut some favorites too!

Prime Time Quilt Pattern

 I'd like to introduce you to the Prime Time quilt pattern! It's a fun, precut friendly pattern with two block options included.

Prime Time is a great way to use Layer Cake squares, but you also have the option of using Charm squares, Fat Quarters, or yardage. And it works with any fabric - florals, geometrics, batiks and even solids. It's really versatile! It would even make a fun I-Spy style quilt with fussy cut fabrics in each block. 

Mabon Fabric Make Believe Quilt

Today I'm sharing a throw size version of the Make Believe quilt pattern that I stitched up earlier this year. Make Believe is a fun and modern quilt pattern that's perfect for using precut 10" squares (layer cake squares.)

For this version of Make Believe I used a fabric line called Mabon, designed by Shelley Cavanna for Contempo fabrics by Benartex. I love the bold, saturated colors that Shelley does so well in all of her lines. 

Lofty Quilt Pattern

Hey friends I have some news to share today! After many, many requests from customers, I've given the Lofty quilt pattern an update! 

The most obvious change is that it's got a brand new cover, and it is also now a full-color, booklet style pattern. 

But if you take a closer look, you'll notice that there are now a lot more fabric options for you! That was the one most requested thing that you asked for. And I listened!

Changeling Star Quilt Block for Sewcialites 2 QAL

 Hello everyone and welcome to any new visitors!

This is a big week for a couple of reasons-- First of all, it's finally my turn to share the block I designed for the Sewcialites 2 quilt along with the Fat Quarter shop! The second reason is that this is block #23 which means we are ONE block away from being able to start piecing our quilt tops together!

Are you ready to see the block I designed? This is the Changeling Star block:
