To each Maple Leaf Block add an 8 1/2" rectangle and a 6 1/2" rectangle as shown. Press each row, alternating direction of seam. To assemble your Maple Leaf block, refer to picture for layout direction of HSTs. (I prefer to press the print toward the dark side to prevent it from showing through the background fabric.) Line up with ruler and trim to 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square. Place other half of triangle on top of print sem, right sides together, and pin in place. Pin in place and sew across long side of triangle.

Align the stem print 1" x 3 1/2" piece across the long side of triangle, right sides together. Trim seam allowance to 1/4".įor each stem, cut a 2 1/2" background square diagonally from corner to corner. Flip open and press print square toward the corner. Place pressed square on top of a print square, right sides together, and sew on the diagonal crease. To do this, press a 2 1/2" square of background fabric in half diagonally from corner to corner. I like to use the Stitch and Flip method. You will need 4 HSTs per block, for a total of 28 HSTs to complete all 7 blocks.
