Leaf Paper Pieced Pattern

Materials:

• 1/4 yard or fat quarter of background fabric (unless you want a scrappy background)
• fabric scraps for leaf
• sewing machine
• iron and ironing surface
• rotary cutter and mat or sharp scissors
• ruler (including 1/4" measurement)

You Will Also Need:

• printer (or other) paper on which to print the pattern
• shorten stitch length to 1.2

Pattern Description:

There is something soothing about a simple leaf. This pattern is for a 12"x12" (12.5"x12.5" unfinished) foundation paper pieced leaf block.

This is a scrap-friendly project that can be sewn in any variety of colors to elicit different seasons or match decor. A single block can be made into a pillow, table runner, bag, or wall-hanging, or you can join multiple blocks to make a larger quilt.

This pattern includes a printable foundation paper piecing pattern, but does not include specific piecing instructions. A general foundation paper piecing knowledge is assumed. There are paper joining tips included in this pattern, since pattern pieces span two printer pages. Remember to shorten your stitch length to 1.2 to improve ease of paper removal when finished.

The pattern includes a stem option on both sides. Choose a side, or use both! 1/4" seam allowances are included on the pattern pieces.
