The Maple Leaf pattern is especially fun when you let your fabric do the talking. Use coordinated fabrics for a more traditional look, or mix 2.5" strips and scraps to create a colorful scrappy Maple Leaf quilt.
Maple Leaf blocks are perfect for fall quilts, seasonal wall hangings, lap quilts, table runners, pillows, and other home décor projects. They're also a wonderful way to showcase favorite fabrics or make a handmade gift with a distinctly autumn feel.
And because the look changes dramatically with fabric selection, the same pattern can be used again and again.
I'd make the scrap/fall connection much stronger on this page. Quiltsmart itself specifically describes Maple Leaf as a scrappy fall project, so there's already a natural content and seasonal search opportunity here.
