Free Quilt Patterns - Autumn Leaves Quilt Pattern
Autumn Leaves is a quilt made from 14" square (finished size) focal patchwork blocks with a maple leaf at each corner. Leaves are separated by sashing bars, and a square sits at the block's center. Snowball quilt blocks are sewn between the focals, where they link to create diagonal movement across the surface of the quilt.
The quilt is perfect for a fall theme, but would look good in other colors (try a Christmas theme), or as a completely scrappy design.
Finished block size: 14" x 14"
Quilt size: 82" x 110"
All blocks are quick pieced.
