Jasmin Graber:

"This version of a star patchwork block dates back to around 1930 and was published in a catalog by Aunt Martha / Colonial Ready Cut Quilt Block Company. The Aunt Martha company only lasted for a few years, but its idea of offering patchwork kits for entire quilts had its beginnings during this time! The company also held competitions to design patchwork blocks. The winning designs were then chosen and displayed in another catalog. "

Maple Leaf Block

This Maple Leaf Block designed by Marie of QuiltBee, The Pattern is available for free.

Marie:

"There are lots of different leaf blocks out there but it took a while to find a seven-pointed layout where the tip was pieced rather than foundation pieced (for whatever reason I didn't want to go there). At the end of the day, I decided to draft my own pattern."

"The pattern calls for a pieced center, which I loved, but since I’m trying to sneak in bits of the checked fabrics from Cozy Up, this was a great spot add it.
