Maple Leaf Flurries
The Maple Leaf Flurries is a 42×42” square quilt topper version of the Indian Summer Pattern! This pattern was created using a simple colour palette to accentuate the maple leaf element of the quilt pattern and provide a great introductory pattern using one of our simpler foundation units! This pattern uses 2 ½” strips. Instructions include not only cutting instructions for the colourway shown on the cover, but also provide you with the option of creating a more colourful wall quilt using a varietal pack of 2-1/2″ strips. (24) strips are necessary to create the cover quilt. Remaining strips can be used for the inner border and the binding, if desired! (Yardage will still need to be purchased for the background geese and the outer border to complete the quilt). This is a great quilt for those newer to foundation piecing
