| Maple Leaf Farm Quilt |
As the leaves turn red and gold and the nights grow longer, there's something about the fall that makes it feel like the air is begging us to get out our favorite warm colored fabrics, sip a hot tea, and sit at the sewing machine. When fall rolls around and it's time to get cozy, Bobbie Ashley's Maple Leaf Farm quilt in All People Quilt is a quilt to make!
The rustic, comforting beauty of a crisp farm day in the fall is captured in this design, which makes an adorable addition to any quilter's fall decor. Now let's take a look at the unique design and why it should be on your cutting table this weekend.
The Details: What Makes This Pattern Shine.
Bobbie Ashley has created a handsome, and extremely enjoyable to assemble, classic. The traditional blocks blend in with a welcoming layout, making this quilt feel like a traditional block tradition from the very first stitch of binding.
Here are some of the key details from the pattern to help you plan your project:
- Finished Size: 61.5" x 73.5", which is a generous size that will drape over a cozy armchair or fold at the foot of your bed.
- Finished Block Size: This quilt is made with tight 12" square blocks that fit together perfectly.
- The Design Elements: The quilt is assembled from traditional Maple Leaf blocks in a clever manner at the magic of the Maple Leaf Farm. The half-square triangles (HSTs) are used with a fast piece and quick sew stem unit to make that iconic organic leaf shape with these blocks.
- Fabric Vibe: This pattern works well in rich, earthy autumn hues, plaids, and cozy reproductions, but is versatile enough to work in any fabric. A great scraper for those who have a bunch of reds, golds, oranges and dark forest green in their stockings.
Seeking to feel the excitement of sewing, you will love Sewing It.
This pattern is a great sew for experienced quilters or any quilter with confidence and proficiency in sewing half-square triangles. The chain-piecing possibilities are incredible – it is a great rhythm to be able to get into at the machine. Also, the generous size of the blocks (12") means that the quilt top is quite quickly made given how detailed it looks!

In the end, the Maple Leaf Farm quilt is not just a summer project, but a celebration of the cozy, comforting moments that quilting can offer in our lives.
