Pom (from France) found my Scrappy Maple Leaf quilt pattern on the internet and wrote me a comment about her Maple Leaf quilt.

I fell in love with her quilt.

Her quilt is completely cut and pieced by hand. I wrote the pattern to be a rotary cut and machine pieced quilt with a tiny bit of applique in the leaf stems.

Beautiful block and quilt design and creation by Pom.Written into a pattern by Cindy.
