Maple Leaf Mug Mat

 

Maple Leaf Mug Mat

After learning that mug mats vary in size, I decided to go ahead and complete the 10-inch block for the Maple Leaf. I found this pattern in an old quilting book. It is made from one new fat quarter, the brown and some old pink print fabric that I already had in my stash. I hand quilted the block using long quilt stitching. 

Working on this block, I found out that the Maple Leaf pattern is not so easy as I had expected and my sister Mid suggested the stem which mirror the original pattern. She is my go-to sister for quilting advice, has an excellent sense of design and she is currently making a Maple Leaf quilt. But in the end, I stuck with the pattern as it is in the book, with the stem positioned to the left, which is a nice twist. Love it!
