This pattern was originally written by Valerie Davidson, one of my online quilting friends, in 2007. She has given me permission to publish her design and rewrite the pattern and share her quilt photo. The quilt in Option A is Valerie’s quilt. When I made the quilt (Option B) I modified it to add a simple, pieced border. The blocks are scrappy and came from a group swap.
Pom is wonderfully artistic and has much to share.
Her maple leaf quilt is entirely hand done.. hand cut, hand pieced and hand quilted.
I fell in love with it when I saw it.
She designed her pattern by hand drafting it.
On her blog Pom suggested we draft our own maple leaves so I decided to give it a try with my Quilt Pro 6 software

DH and I just returned from a two week vacation on the big island and Kauai.
I strongly recommend the Kimura General Store in Kona for great fabric.
In Kauai the Kapaia Stitchery is absolutely divine.
Needless to say I overindulged and came home with a big smile on my face.
Hawaiian fabrics are my absolute favorite fabrics, especially since I go to Hawaii to buy them.
This is one of the first quilts I made when I started quilting in 2000.
It is made from my first pattern.
It is handquilted..
I was extremely happy that the quilt was so well-used that it needed to be restored.
The quilt received a new backing, binding, 2.5″ strip on the top perimeter.
I tied the quilt.
Sewed the original label back on plus a new label.
The quilt measures 84″ by 96″.

I wanted you to see the edges of the quilt. Instead of making lots of tiny, setting triangles I use a square. Then I do the quilting. When the quilting is done I trim the squares into triangles and then do the binding.

Click Here to Download Tip to Make Lots of HSTs (Half Square Triangles)
I am currently preparing patterns for several quilts that require a significant number of HSTs.
Here is a document that will help you make a significant number of HSTs from yardage.
I have a few, random HSTs left over from other projects but not enough for any of these projects I am working on.
Here is the strategy I developed for creating the number of HSTs I need.
You can use these ideas to make lots of HSTs in the same color combination and/or to make scrappy HSTs.

If you ever need some uplifting and joy in your life you can get it from Melissa. She is a 30 yo ex-Univ. of Washington and professional basketball player who has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS).
I made her the quilt last year with help from my friends who donated fabric and helped with the sewing, quilting and label. These great friends are Kaylin Francis, Marie Chestnut and Michelle Brown. The fabric was donated by the Washington State Internet Quilters. She loves sharing her quilt with her kittie, Tommie (a girl).
To read more about Melissa you can check out her awesome blog. I am sure she would enjoy some visitors and comments.

I changed Bonnie’s block a little by replacing 4 of the cream triangles with pink triangles in the four corners. I used my Repro 30′s bubble gum pink baby print fabric.
You can use this pattern with any quilt that has (9) 9″ finished sized blocks.
I love how sweet this little quilt looks.

My good friend, Marie (http://chestnutsquilting.com/) , made this quilt for a baby that is on the way. She wanted smaller baby blocks and wanted it less than 44″ wide so she didn’t have to piece the back. The new block size is 11″ (the original is 16″). I love it. The grandmother died recently and the fabric is from her stash so this is a very sentimental quilt.
